Burlington: Bluffs and River Heritage in Southeast Iowa
Burlington is built on steep bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River in southeast Iowa. The city served briefly as the capital of the Iowa Territory from 1838 to 1841 before the capital moved to Iowa City. Population today is approximately 25,400.
Snake Alley, a curving brick street that descends a bluff in a series of switchbacks, has been called the crookedest street in the world. It was built in 1894 as a shortcut between the hilltop residential area and the commercial district below. The annual Snake Alley Criterium bicycle race draws competitors from across the country.
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail yard is a major employer, continuing the railroad heritage that helped build the city. The city's downtown has maintained several 19th-century commercial buildings. Crapo and Dankwardt parks overlook the river from the bluffs.
The Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center serves as the primary healthcare facility for a multi-county area.
