Discover Burlington


The city of Burlington is located in Alamance County halfway between the larger cities of Greensboro to the west and Durham to the east. Just a little further east you will also find Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina and home to many universities and colleges.

Burlington came into existence as a maintenance depot for the North Carolina Railroad in the 1850s. At that time it was called Company Shops, reflecting the fact it was the railroad workshops location, but changed to Burlington, NC when the railroad offices closed down.

The city is in an area known as the Piedmont region of North Carolina, a plateau with generally flat land and a few rolling hills. Book an RV in Alamance County and explore this region with ease.
