Burlington: Lake Champlain, UVM, and Vermont's Largest City
Burlington sits on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain and serves as the seat of Chittenden County. With roughly 45,000 residents it is the most populous municipality in Vermont, although it would rank as a small city in most other states. The waterfront on Lake Champlain has been reclaimed from a former industrial zone; the Burlington Bike Path now runs along what were once railroad yards and lumberyards. On a clear day the Adirondack Mountains of New York are visible across the water.
The University of Vermont was chartered in 1791, the same year Vermont joined the Union as the fourteenth state. UVM enrolls approximately 14,000 students on its hillside campus east of downtown and competes athletically as the Catamounts. Champlain College occupies a smaller campus in the Hill Section. Together the two institutions shape the rental market and the seasonal rhythm of the city.
Church Street Marketplace is a four-block pedestrian-only shopping street that was closed to car traffic in 1981 and remains the commercial center of downtown. Bernie Sanders served as mayor of Burlington from 1981 to 1989, a period during which the city developed its community land trust and other progressive policy experiments. The Ben and Jerry's scoop shop on Church Street is the company's flagship retail location, although the factory tour operates out of Waterbury about 25 miles to the southeast.
Burlington International Airport, located in neighboring South Burlington, is the largest airport in the state and the primary commercial gateway to the region. Vermont Air National Guard fighters share the runway with commercial traffic. The hospital complex of the UVM Medical Center anchors the healthcare sector and is the largest employer in Vermont alongside the university itself.
