==Etymology==
Anglo-European records of Burlington County date to 1681, when its court was established in the [[West Jersey|Province of West Jersey]]. The county was formed on May 17, 1694, "by the union of the first and second Tenths."<ref name=Story>Snyder, John P.

==History==
Burlington County, originally the seat of government for the Province of [[West Jersey]], merged with [[East Jersey]] in 1702 to form the [[Province of New Jersey]]. At its inception, Burlington County was considerably larger but was subsequently partitioned to form additional counties in response to population growth. Specifically, in 1714, a partition to the north led to the creation of [[Hunterdon County, New Jersey|Hunterdon County]]. Hunterdon County itself was further divided over time, resulting in the formation of three additional counties: [[Morris County, New Jersey|Morris]], [[Sussex County, New Jersey|Sussex]] and [[Warren County, New Jersey|Warren]].

Initially, the county seat was in [[Burlington, New Jersey|Burlington]]. However, as the population began to increase and spread toward the interior of the province, away from the [[Delaware River]], a more central location became necessary. Consequently, the seat of government was relocated to [[Mount Holly, New Jersey|Mount Holly]] in 1793.<ref>Heavens, Alan J. [http://www.philly.com/philly/classifieds/real_estate/town-by-town/20130721_Town_By_Town__Mount_Holly_keeps_people_coming_back.html "Town By Town: Mount Holly keeps people coming back"], ''[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]'', July 21, 2013. Accessed September 30, 2013. "Mount Holly, is, of course, the Burlington County seat. It has been since 1793, and many historic buildings lining the streets near the county offices are occupied by law firms, bail-bond providers, and title companies."</ref>

The period of industrialization saw significant improvements in transportation within Burlington County, which in turn enhanced the profitability of its agricultural sector. Concurrently, a population surge in the coastal communities, fueled by flourishing international trade and ship repair industries, necessitated extensive road improvements throughout the county.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}

==Geography and climate==
[[File:Arneys Mount NJ.jpg|thumb|Arney's Mount seen from Saylors Pond Road, also known as [[County Route 670 (Burlington County, New Jersey)|County Road 670]]]]
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], as of the 2020 Census, the county had a total area of {{convert|820.19|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|799.29|sqmi}} was land (97.5%) and {{convert|20.89|sqmi}} was water (2.5%).<ref name=CensusArea>[https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2020_Gazetteer/2020_gaz_counties_34.txt 2020 Census Gazetteer File for Counties in New Jersey], [[United States Census Bureau]]. Accessed April 1, 2023.</ref>

Most of the county's land is coastal and [[alluvial plain]], with little [[topographic relief]]. There are a few anomalous hills, such as [[Apple Pie Hill]] and [[Arneys Mount, New Jersey|Arney's Mount]], the highest of the county and among the highest in [[South Jersey]] at approximately {{convert|240|ft}} above sea level.<ref>[http://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=13320 New Jersey County High Points], Peakbagger.com. Accessed October 3, 2013.</ref> The low point is sea level along the [[Delaware River|Delaware]] and [[Mullica River|Mullica]] rivers.

Most of the land is dotted with rivers, streams, and wetlands. Some of the largest and most important rivers in Burlington County include [[Rancocas Creek]], [[Assiscunk Creek]], [[Pennsauken Creek]], [[Mullica River]], [[Batsto River]], and [[Wading River (New Jersey)|Wading River]].

Average temperatures in the county seat of Mount Holly have ranged from a low of {{convert|22|°F}} in January to a high of {{convert|87|°F}} in July, although a record low of {{convert|-25|°F}} was recorded in February 1934 and a record high of {{convert|104|°F}} was recorded in July 1936. Average monthly precipitation ranged from {{convert|2.92|in}} in February to {{convert|4.87|in}} in August. According to the [[Köppen climate classification]], Burlington County has a [[humid subtropical climate]] (''Cfa''), with relatively cool to cold winters and hot summers.

Severe weather is common in the warm months. Hurricanes have struck Burlington County on occasion, but tornadoes are uncommon. Severe thunderstorms, however, are common during the warm season. Snowfall is typical in the winter, with the snowfall averages in the county ranging from about 18 to 22 inches. The nearby Atlantic Ocean moderates Burlington County's climate, and rain is common year-round. The county seat receives about 41 inches of rain per year.

Another weather phenomenon that occurs in Burlington County is [[radiative cooling]] in the [[Pine Barrens (New Jersey)|Pine Barrens]], a large pine forest and reserve that takes up a good portion of Southern and Eastern Burlington County. Due to sandy soil, on clear and dry nights these areas might be {{convert|10|to|15|F}} colder than the surrounding areas, and there is a shorter frost-free season in these places. The sandy soil of the Pinelands loses heat much faster than the other soils or urban surfaces (concrete, asphalt) in the region, and so achieves a much lower temperature at night than the rest of the county. This effect is far less pronounced on moist, cloudy, or windy nights, as these three factors greatly reduce the radiative cooling of the sandy soil.<ref name="weather"/>

== Politics ==
While historically a swing county in federal elections until the 1990s, in state and local politics, Burlington County was a bastion of moderate suburban conservatism into the mid-2010s, however since the victory of [[Donald Trump]] in the [[2016 Presidential election]], Burlington County has become reliably Democratic on all levels in recent years, including in more affluent communities that have developed new residential areas, such as [[Medford, New Jersey|Medford]], [[Mount Laurel, New Jersey|Mount Laurel]], [[Moorestown, New Jersey|Moorestown]], and [[Evesham Township, New Jersey|Evesham Township]] that once leaned more to the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] (as opposed to areas along the [[Delaware River]] occupied by minority and working-class households). Burlington County has closely matched statewide totals in recent presidential, senatorial, and gubernatorial elections, making it an important bellwether. As of October 1, 2021, there were a total of 353,613 registered voters in Burlington County, of whom 139,745 (39.5%) were registered as [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]], 90,754 (25.7%) were registered as [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] and 118,992 (33.7%) were registered as [[Unaffiliated (New Jersey)|unaffiliated]]. There were 4,122 voters (1.2%) registered to other parties.<ref>[https://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/assets/pdf/svrs-reports/2021/2021-10-voter-registration-by-county.pdf Statewide Voter Registration Summary as of October 1, 2021], [[New Jersey Department of State]].

===Libraries===
The [[Burlington County Library]] became the first county library in New Jersey when it was established in 1921 in [[Mount Holly, New Jersey|Mount Holly]]. Library service grew in popularity and several moves ensued as more space became a necessity.

[[Medford, New Jersey|Medford]] and [[Evesham Township, New Jersey|Evesham Township]] had joined the system by 1975. The [[Pemberton Township, New Jersey|Pemberton Township]] Branch joined the system in 1987. [[Maple Shade Township, New Jersey|Maple Shade Township]] became a branch in April 2001 while [[Riverton, New Jersey|Riverton]], the newest branch, joined in December 2003.
