Abstract:
The city of Burlington began as the North Carolina Railroad’s hub for building, repairing and maintaining its trains and tracks. Over the years, the area became a leader in the textile industry but by the mid-1970s, most of the sites shut down. With the help of LabCorp, one of the world’s largest medical testing companies, Burlington’s population and downtown is thriving once again.
