Although the community of Burlington serves as the county seat of government, it remains unincorporated. This former agricultural community is experiencing rapid growth along the Route 18 corridor to the Interstate 75 interchange. Newcomers will find a warm and comfortable hometown atmosphere with sports fields, walking trails, and picnic areas. Burlington is the home of the Boone County fairgrounds, a premier private golf club, and Dinsmore Historic Home--an operating museum farm that dates back to the 1800s. Like Boone County as a whole, the Burlington area is experiencing rapid development and offers a wide selection of housing from historic to contemporary.
