==History== Due to its close proximity to Chicago Burnham is frequently the subject of annexation debates for the city.<ref>{{cite web |last1=McClelland |first1=Edward |title=Wonβt You Be My (Annexed) Neighbor? |url=https://www.chicagomag.com/city-life/wont-you-be-my-annexed-neighbor/ |website=Chicago Magazine |access-date=9 November 2024}}</ref> One of the arguments is that Burnham is simply too small to govern itself efficiently without a high municipal tax burden, and that it would be cheaper for Burnham residents to be annexed into Chicago.<ref>{{cite web |last1=McClelland |first1=Edward |title=Chicago should annex adjoining suburbs |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2017/04/13/chicago-should-annex-adjoining-suburbs/ |website=Chicago Tribune |access-date=9 November 2024 |date=13 April 2017}}</ref>
