Burlington: Chocolate City and the Nestle Plant
Burlington sits on the Fox River in Racine County, southwest of Milwaukee. The city has been known locally as Chocolate City since 1966, when the Nestle Company opened a chocolate manufacturing plant on the west side of town. The plant, originally built to produce the Nestle Crunch bar, still operates and remains one of the largest employers in the city. The Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce holds ChocolateFest each Memorial Day weekend, drawing 60,000 visitors for chocolate-themed events, a parade, and music.
The Burlington Liars Club, founded in 1929 as a good-natured promotion for a local newspaper, still issues an annual "World Champion Liar" award each New Year's Eve based on tall tales submitted from around the country. The club's promotional material has made Burlington one of the few small cities with an internationally recognized claim to a specific form of humor.
The city's population is about 10,500. Echo Park along the Fox River houses the city's municipal beach and a monument to Tony Romo, the NFL quarterback who grew up in Burlington. Burlington has also been the location of multiple Spam and nostalgia museums over the years, though the most prominent closed in 2020. The downtown along Chestnut Street preserves late-19th-century commercial architecture.
