Etymology
An earlier version of this article referenced the Burlington Northern as the source of the village & township's name. Burlington was actually on the Chicago Madison and Northern, which became the Freeport Division of the Illinois Central (later Canadian National). As far as I can tell, township was platted before the railroad. Unable to verify this using online sources, but I have a theory that it was named after Burlington, VT, because I found some references to the founders being from Vermont. If you have access to local physical sources, feel free to use that as a lead. Digitalaviator (talk) 17:05, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
