Burlington was incorporated in 1824. However, today Burlington is unincorporated due to the annulment of the city charter in 1923. It is one of the two county seats in Kentucky that are unincorporated, along with Whitley City, the seat of McCreary County.
The county seat of Boone County, Burlington, was initially established on 74 acres, donated by John Craig and Robert Johnson, at the headwaters of the Allen's Fork. It went through various name changes, originally known as Craig's Camp after John Craig, then renamed Wilmington in 1800, and is now known as Burlington, a function of the request of the U.S. Post Office in 1816. Court was initially held in a log courthouse built in 1801, the same year the town was platted. In the initial layout of the town, the streets circled the central "Publick Square." It was this original town plan and square, designed by county surveyor Moses Scott, that would later contribute to the listing of Burlington as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. The Burlington Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
