About location

Burlington combines suburban commercial activity with pockets of woodland in a way that reflects its position on Route 128 northwest of Boston. The town developed from an agricultural community and was incorporated in 1799; today it forms part of the metropolitan area’s major office, retail and research belt. Burlington Mall, opened in 1968, helped establish the retail district near the interchange of Route 128 and the Middlesex Turnpike. The Shawsheen River runs through Burlington before continuing northeast toward the Merrimack River. Residential streets, business parks and open space give this busy highway town a distinctly New England pattern.

Vine Brook defines the setting of Burlington — its wooded course and small ponds run through a suburban community northwest of Boston. Incorporated in 1799 after separating from Woburn, Burlington developed from a farming town into a major retail and business centre in the Route 128 corridor. The historic Middlesex Turnpike passes through town, recalling an early-19th-century route that connected the Boston area with northern Massachusetts.

Massachusetts
Region Massachusetts

Massachusetts has served as a colonial heartland within New England since the 17th century. Its terrain extends from the Atlantic coastline of Cape Cod and the islands to the Berkshire Hills in the west, while the Connecticut River runs through broad valley country in the state’s western interior. Boston, the capital, preserves major sites associated with the American Revolution, including the Old State House and the Freedom Trail. Cambridge adds another academic chapter through Harvard University, founded in 1636. Coastal ports, former mill cities and rural inland communities give the state sharply varied local character.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
