==History==
Anglo-European records of Burlington County date to 1681, when its court was established in the Province of West Jersey. The county was formed on May 17, 1694, "by the union of the first and second Tenths."〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 93. Accessed September 30, 2013.〕 The county was named for the Bridlington, a town in England.〔(Map and history of How New Jersey's counties were created ), New Jersey Genealogy Solutions. Accessed October 9, 2013.〕 The township's name is a corruption of the English town of Bridlington.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 28, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 61. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed August 28, 2015.〕 Burlington County was also the seat of government for the Province of West Jersey until its amalgamation with East Jersey in 1702, forming the Province of New Jersey. The county was much larger and was partitioned to form additional counties as the population increased. In 1714 one partition to the north became Hunterdon County, which itself was later partitioned to form three additional counties. The county seat had been in Burlington but, as the population increased in the interior, away from the Delaware River, a more central location was needed, and the seat of government was moved to Mount Holly in 1793.〔Heavens, Alan J. ("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."〕
