The Historic City of Burlington-Industry

As soon as Europeans settled in the historical port City of Burlington, tanneries, breweries, and other small enterprises arose to serve local inhabitants and neighbors. This entrepreneurial spirit embraced the emerging Industrial Revolution, and by the middle-and late-19th Century, the City of Burlington was a major manufacturing center supplying customers around the world. The Birch Carriage Factory shown to the right was one of the largest manufacturers of rickshaws in the world.
