New Burlington, Clinton County, Ohio

New Burlington is a former town located in Chester Township in the northwestern corner of Clinton County, Ohio off Ohio State Route 380. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1] It was acquired by the United States federal government when Caesar Creek was dammed and a reservoir created in the 1970s.

History

New Burlington was laid out in 1833, and named after Burlington, North Carolina, the native home of a share of the first settlers.[2] A post office called New Burlington was established in 1837, and remained in operation until 1971.[3] New Burlington was a "station" on the Underground Railroad.[4]

gollark: All the parser implementations around should accept that as valid, and you can use a fixed amount of size.
gollark: Okay, very hacky but technically workable: have an XTMF metadata block of a fixed size, and after the actual JSON data, instead of just ending it with a `}`, have enough spaces to fill up the remaining space then a `}`.
gollark: XTMF was not really designed for this use case, so it'll be quite hacky. What you can do is leave a space at the start of the tape of a fixed size, and stick the metadata at the start of that fixed-size region; the main problem is that start/end locations are relative to the end of the metadata, not the start of the tape, so you'll have to recalculate the offsets each time the metadata changes size. Unfortunately, I just realized now that the size of the metadata can be affected by what the offset is.
gollark: The advantage of XTMF is that your tapes would be playable by any compliant program for playback, and your thing would be able to read tapes from another program.
gollark: Tape Shuffler would be okay with it, Tape Jockey doesn't have the same old-format parsing fallbacks and its JSON handling likely won't like trailing nuls, no idea what tako's program thinks.
