The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The earliest settlers in the area included John and Michael Jones. The pair built cabins in the area circa 1867, and the community was initially named Irish Settlement. A Catholic church was constructed in the 1880s. When the post office was established in 1884, the town was renamed Waterford. The post office operated in the home of Timothy Gleason, a native of Tipperary, Ireland, who changed the town's name to Burlington, after Burlington, Vermont.
