Burlington is a home rule municipality and the county seat and most populous community of Kit Carson County, Colorado, United States.[2] The city population was 3,172 at the 2020 United States Census.[4]

History

Burlington, 1943

Burlington was originally laid out one mile west of its present location in 1887 by a man named Lowell in anticipation of the arrival of the railroad. In addition to having the location wrong, Lowell also did not have title to the land. When the railroad did arrive, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, it built its depot at the present site of Burlington and those who had built in Old Burlington moved their buildings to the new townsite. Trains began running in 1888. "The Settlement", about 12 miles northwest of Burlington, was settled by German immigrants from Russia, many from Hoffnungstal, South Russia, who, in addition to their homesteads, built Congregational and Lutheran churches.[6][7]

Burlington, CO is on the Loewen database of possible sundown towns, although Tougaloo College recognizes that it is "surely not" still one.[8]

Geography

Burlington is located on the High Plains in eastern Colorado.

At the 2020 United States Census, the city had a total area of 1,378 acres (5.575 km2), all of it land.[4]

The easternmost interchange in Colorado on Interstate 70 is located at Burlington, 12 miles (19 km) west of the Kansas state line.

Climate

Burlington has a typical High Plains cool semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers punctuated by occasional heavy thunderstorm rains, and cold, very dry winters. Snowfall is occasionally heavy, with an average annual amount of 33.7 inches (86 cm) – but mostly the winter weather is very dry and extremely variable in temperatures. More than 33 afternoons (over a third) each winter can be expected to reach or exceed 50 °F (10 °C), but 4.9 mornings each year will drop to or under 0 °F (−17.8 °C) and 24.3 afternoons do not top freezing.[citation needed]
