Burlington, Census-designated place and county seat in Boone County, Kentucky, United States
Burlington extends over 8.8 square miles of land in north-central Boone County, with Kentucky Route 18 running through its center.
The settlement changed names from Craig's Camp to Wilmington in 1800, and finally received its current name Burlington from the US Post Office in 1816.
The Burlington Historic District preserves numerous buildings around the central Public Square, earning recognition in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The municipality contains four educational institutions: Burlington Elementary School, Charles Kelly Elementary School, Stephens Elementary School, and Camp Ernst Middle School.
This Kentucky jurisdiction stands as one of only two county seats in the state operating without formal incorporation after its city charter ended in 1923.
