Burlington, Ontario
Burlington (2001 population 150,836) is located in the Golden Horseshoe[?], across the harbour from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
The land which is now Burlington was deeded to Chief Joseph Brant[?] in 1798. and settlement started soon afterward. In 1873 Burlington was incorporated as a village, and it became a city in 1974.
Like most cities of its size in Ontario, manufacturing of various goods sustains Burlington's livelihood, but is proximity to Hamilton and Toronto means several residents commute to those cities.
