The City of Burlington’s location along the White and Fox Rivers established the City as a commercial hub for western Racine County. Today, the central location between Milwaukee and Chicago in southeastern Wisconsin continues to draw businesses and people.
The thriving community of over 300 businesses includes a variety of large industrial corporations, many “mom and pop” retail and service businesses, and a diversity of commercial retail and big box stores. Downtown historic Burlington is the heart of the city and an exciting destination for residents and visitors alike. This walkable community is filled with visitors, residents, students, and business professionals who contribute to the city’s positive energy.
