New Burlington is a former town located in Chester Township in the northwestern corner of Clinton County, Ohio, off Ohio State Route 380. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place. It was acquired by the United States federal government when Caesar Creek was dammed and a reservoir created in the 1970s.
New Burlington was laid out in 1833, and named after Burlington, North Carolina, the native home of a share of the first settlers.[1] A post office called New Burlington was established in 1837, and remained in operation until 1971.[2] New Burlington was a "station" on the Underground Railroad.[3]
