The City of Burlington, New Jersey is a treasure trove of American history, where William Penn's Quakers founded West Jersey in 1677 based on the then unique American concept that all races, sexes, nationalities, and religions deserved equal rights. Over three hundred years later, the City of Burlington remains a truly diverse, caring community that welcomes and respects all residents and visitors alike, and we sincerely hope that you will think of our downtown as your downtown.
The City of Burlington is dedicated to upholding the principles established by our Quaker founders in 1677 in their West Jersey Constitution, Concessions, and Agreements. These principles form the basis of our culture, which emphasizes mutual respect, personal freedom, and diversity.
