History

Burr was originally called Stanley, and under the latter name was platted by the railroad in 1886.[2] The current name is for Burr Anderson, an early settler.[2]

A post office was established as Burr in 1894; it was closed in 1953.[3]

gollark: Obviously having various nigh-identical shades of blue is unhelpful.
gollark: "Edit" there is a "random system link", the "Unsafe link" is an unvisited one, "link" with an underline is a visited external one, and the rest are pages.
gollark: How should I redo the color schemes? There's a color for "random system link of some kind", "page" (eventually "nonexistent page" too), "visited external link", and "unvisited external link".
gollark: What?
gollark: I'm thinking it might be good to use different colors for different types of "link" in minoteaur instead of various near-identical shades of blue.
