Burlington, North Dakota Burlington is a city in Ward County, North Dakota in the United States. Burlington was founded in 1883, having been third in a series that included two earlier settlements. Despite this, Burlington is still the oldest city in Ward County, as well as north-western and north central North Dakota. In 1885, as it was the only city in the then-newly formed Imperial Ward County (now split into Ward, Renville, Mountrail, and Burke counties), it was given the county seat, a position it held until 1888. The population was 1,096 at the 2000 census.Burlington is part of the Minot Micropolitan Statistical Area.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2), all of it land. History Burlington, and its former settlements were founded by James Johnson [disambiguation needed] and James Colton (the men who also settled Larimore, North Dakota) in Dakota Territory in the late 1870s. Earlier settlements were The Forks, and later Colton (named after James Colton), which are considered forerunners of the city. Its current name was given to it by James Johnson during the creation of the post office, and was the name of his hometown of Burlington, Iowa. The name 'The Forks' is was used as a nickname for Burlington, both alluding to its heritage, as well as its geographic location. One of the first buildings in Burlington, the first 'Ward County Courthouse'; built by James Johnson, and used originally as a granary; was moved to the North Dakota State Fair fairgrounds in the mid-20th century and now serves as one of the 2 buildings of the Ward County Historical Society`s Fairgrounds Museum. In the early 1890s, the Burlington Reporter became the first newspaper in western North Dakota. It would in the future be renamed to the Minot Daily News. Postmodern In 2004 and 2006 two cell phone towers were built in Burlington. In 2008, a large project to build a new fire station was completed, and after this was finished, the Ward County government speculated on whether it should move the Ward County Public Library to the old Burlington Fire station's building, due to the current library building having severely limited space. Stemming from the completion of the first station, the city government announced it will be undertaking major citywide improvements. These improvements were announced as the Burlington Fire Station Addition, which will be actually expanding the new fire station's land and resources by over 3 times its current size, vast improvements to Burlington Heights, and also Rowan Addition, which comprises two new streets, 3 street expansions, and the addition of over 35 residential plots and possibly 2 commercial plots, all on now vacant land on the north side of Burlington, next to U.S. Routes 2 & 52. Education Burlington's school district merged with Des Lacs' school district in the late '60s to form United Public School District 7(United Public School District 7), thus Des Lacs High School now serves students living Burlington, and Burlington School the Elementary. This means that it has since shared a school system with nearby Des Lacs. Children in grades kindergarten through eighth attend school in Burlington, while those in grades nine through twelve attend in Des Lacs, where the high school is located. Before 2000, there was a lack of room for the possibility of the seventh and eighth grades being located in Burlington, as the room needed for those grades was not completed until that year in the form of a new Junior High wing. Burlington-Des Lacs Elementary School has approximately 500 enrolled students as of the 2008 school year.2001 - Alton Nygaard -Des Lacs-Burlington High School 2000 - Joe Lukach - United Public School District 7 2007 - Clark Ranum - United Public School District 7 Statistics State Class 'B' boys basketball: 2000 Womans Softball: 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1945, 1946, 1947 State Class 'B' boys baseball: 2002 Region 16 Class 'B' boys baseball: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 ND Region 6 Legion baseball: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 StateState Class 'B' volleyball: 2001 State Class 'B' football: 1993 Radio Stations AM910KCJB- '91 Country'Classic country/Talk 1320KHRT- 'K-Heart'Gospel Music 1390KRRZ- 'Cars'Oldies FM88.9KMPR-Prairie Public Radio(incl.NPR,PRI,APR) 91.1K220GC-HBN RadioChristian 91.9K216EE-K-LOVEChristian 93.7KIZZ- 'Z94'Top 40/CHR 94.9KTZU- 'The Zoo'Classic rock 97.1KYYX- '97 Kicks'Country 98.1KOWW-LP- 'The Cowlip'eclectic community broadcaster(Burlington, North Dakota) 99.9KMXA-FM- 'Mix 99.9'Hot AC 102.9KWGO- 'W-G-O'Adult Contemporary(Burlington, North Dakota) 104.1KSAF-LP-Radio 74Christian 105.3KZPR- 'The Fox'Classic rock 106.9KHRT- 'K-Heart'Christian Television Burlington Community Access Channel Burlington Retail Channel Transportation U.S. Route 52 U.S. Route 2 Railroads The railroads remain there today, and they are becoming more important to the local Oil industry and Gravel industry, though Great Northern is now part of the BNSF Railway and the Soo Line is run by the Canadian Pacific Railway.
