Burlington, Vermont is the county seat of Chittenden County. There are two schools of thought as to how it got its name. Some historians believe it was named in honor of Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, while others believe it was named after a wealthy and politically connected family from New York named Burling.
