City of Burlington-High and Broad Streets

As it developed into a center of commerce, law, dining, and entertainment, the City of Burlington's bustling downtown attracted visitors from Southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and beyond. Easily accessible by river, rail, and road, the downtown drew merchants and professionals to its hundreds of storefronts on historical High Street and Broad Street as well as residents who live above business establishments and in its carefully planned, surrounding neighborhoods. At one time, the downtown simultaneously accommodated boats, trains, trolleys, horse-drawn vehicles, and automobiles.
