City with a population of 26,839 at the 2000 census. County seat of Des Moines County. Originally neutral territory between the lands controlled by the Sac and Fox Native Americans, known as "Shok-ko-kon," meaning Flint Hills. First explored when Zebulon Pike stopped here while charting the Mississippi River in 1803. A fur trading post was established here in 1829, and settlement began in 1833. The town was named for Burlington, Vermont. It became capital of the Wisconsin Territory in 1837; when the Iowa Territory was created in the next year, Burlington became its capital. In 1841 the capital was moved to Iowa City.
