Aurora

Aurora, The Goddess of Dawn, was first established in 1837 by Joseph McCarty, a pioneer from New York State who came west seeking a new home. Aurora’s nickname of “The Goddess of Dawn” changed some years later when it became the first city in the United States to use electric lights for the publicly lighting the entire City. Now Aurora is fondly known as the “City of Lights”.

From a small camp in 1834, Aurora is now the 2nd largest City in Illinois with approximately over 160,000 residents. One of the reasons Aurora has grown so much over the years is due to its accessibility through five interchanges on the East/West Tollway Corridor. With corporate offices and commercial growth constantly growing, Aurora’s boundaries continue to expand, now stretching from Route 59 on the east portions bordering Naperville, to portions beyond Orchard Road on the far west.

The Far East side of Aurora includes the regional Westfield Shoppingtown at Fox Valley (formally known as the Fox Valley Mall). The city extends into four counties, Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will. There are 6 different school districts including the renowned Naperville 204 district.

The City of Aurora is rich in history, diversity and pride. The future for the “City of Lights” is a bright one as the community strives to grow and prosper.
