Alburgh (formerly Alburg) is a town in Grand Isle County, Vermont, United States, founded in 1781 by Ira Allen. The population was 1,952 at the 2000 census. Alburgh is on the Alburgh Tongue, a peninsula extending from Canada into Lake Champlain, and lies on the only road-based route across Lake Champlain to New York state north of Addison, Vermont.
In April of 2006, the Vermont Board of Libraries approved Alburgh's request to change its name from Alburg to Alburgh after a majority vote on town meeting day. The name had been changed against the town's wishes in the 1800s and finally reverted after years of requests.[Burlington Free Press article, June 19, 2006]
