Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Services in Burlington City, NJ

Burlington City was an important place in NJ, so much that it has been incorporated as a city four times. Though it wasn’t founded until 1677, there is evidence of settlement by Europeans in the area in the early 1600’s until the land was seized back by the English in 1664. The first time it was incorporated was in 1693, and then again by a Royal British charter in 1733. After America won her Independence we officially incorporated Burlington City by the official state of New Jersey in 1784, but it had to be done once again as it grew to enlarge its size in 1851.
In 1676 the land at Burlington City was bought by English settlers, sold by the Lenni-Lenape Native American tribe. The Quakers named it after Bridlington, England. The Lenape people were friends to the new quaker settlements, and you can even visit the grave of Lenape chief King Ockanickon here, where a tablet dates the event at 1691, but no grave marker still exists.

The famous pirate Blackbeard was known to sail the coast line and up the Delaware river. There are whispers and rumors he buried a treasure chest near an old maple tree, perhaps on Burlington Island between 1716 and 1718 when he died. 

Some historical buildings in Burlington City still stand, they include the oldest pharmacy in NJ, as well as the oldest Episcopal church (Old St. Mary’s), and library. One of the founding industries here was shoe making, which in 1850, employed more men than canning or ship building. The Burlington historical society offers tours with talking points, including the deep involvement of Burlington in the abolition movement.

People would stand on the shop corners and rally crowds with speeches supporting the abolition movement, while escaped people hid in tunnels under the crowd in the underground railroad. Legend has it that Abraham Lincoln himself came here and actually arm wrestled with Ulysses S. Grant at the Blue Anchor Inn, near Grant’s home.
