Burlington, Iowa, was an important city for Latter-day Saints for nearly fifty years. Located thirty miles upriver from Nauvoo, the city had commercial, recreational, political, and legal ties with Nauvoo from 1840 to 1846. Many of the Saints who were too poor to cross the plains in 1846 took refuge in Burlington, but by 1855, nearly all of these Saints had gone to the Salt Lake Valley. In 1856, Burlington temporarily became an outfitting location for the westward movement. Immigrants continued to pass through Burlington on the railroad after 1870.
