The rest of old Burlington
New Hampshire granted the land on June 7, 1763, as part of Burlington township, and the Town of Burlington organized around 1785. The rest of the old town was incorporated from a part of Burlington as South Burlington on November 22, 1864, as the village of Burlington became a city, and Asa R. Slocum was its first representative, in 1865. The Town of South Burlington became the City of South Burlington in 1971. Its neighbors are Burlington to the northwest, Winooski and Colchester to the north, Essex to the northeast, Williston to the east and Shelburne to the south, and the Winooski River runs along its northern edge. A large part of Lake Champlain west of Burlington, reaching to the New York line, is South Burlington too.
Shelburne Road, U.S. Route 7, and Dorset Street are two of the city’s main commercial roads, joined by Interstate 189. Williston Road is U.S. Route 2, and Route 116 comes in from Williston as Hinesburg Road and ends at Williston Road. Exit 14 of Interstate 89, which feeds Williston Road and Dorset Street, is the largest highway exit in Vermont. Most of the city’s 191 retail businesses cluster around City Center near Dorset Street and Williston Road, and in 2020 South Burlington led the state in gross retail and use sales.

Airport, ice cream and a new downtown
Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport is owned by the City of Burlington but sits in South Burlington. The first aircraft landed on the field on August 14, 1920, and today it’s by far the busiest airport in Vermont and the home of the 158th Fighter Wing of the Vermont Air National Guard. Ben & Jerry’s, founded in Burlington in 1978, keeps its headquarters in South Burlington, and the University Mall, finished in 1979 and named for its nearness to the University of Vermont, is the largest shopping mall in the state.
City Center is the city’s new walkable downtown. South Burlington has built a city hall, a senior center and public library, streets and a main park there, and Market Street and Garden Street run through it. The 9.4-acre City Center Park has walking paths through a forest and a children’s discovery area. Red Rocks Park offers a public beach on Lake Champlain, and Overlook Park looks across the lake to the Adirondacks. Louvenia Bright represented South Burlington in the Vermont House of Representatives from 1988 to 1994, the first Black woman to serve in the Vermont General Assembly, and she helped pass Vermont’s first parental and family leave law.
On the map, start with Queen City Park and Twin Orchards, then follow Main Street, Shelburne Road, Williston Road, Hinesburg Road, Kennedy Drive and Airport Drive across the city. All six of those names are printed on the artwork. South Burlington dates to 1864.
