    Quakers established Burlington as a European settlement in 1677; Lenape Native Americans had inhabited the site previously.  High Street was laid out such that Yorkshiremen inhabited the east side and Londoners, the west.  It was capital of the province of West Jersey in 1681 through unification of the colony with East Jersey in 1702, and thereafter alternated with Perth Amboy as capital.  The last of the English governors, William Franklin, lived here, as did Elias Boudinot, president of the Continental Congress.  Today its Federalist architecture is distinctive and the old sections of the city hearken back to its Colonial prominence.
