Welcome To Aurora
Welcome to the City of Aurora’s website.
When looking for a place to live or to work, you could not choose a better place than Aurora in terms of overall advantages. Our beautiful city on the Fox River has a lot to offer. Founded in 1857, the City of Aurora is about 40 miles west of Chicago and has grown steadily since the first settlers built a mill on the Fox River.
From a population of 99,581 in 1990 to a population of 157,267 in 2000, the city ranked among the top 25 fastest growing cities in the nation, according to USA Today. That trend continued in 2001 when housing starts numbered 2,045, the sixth straight year more than 1,000 new housing starts were initiated. The City’s economy has grown as well. For the seventh consecutive year, more than 2,000 jobs were added to the City’s employment figures in 2001. These new jobs resulted from more than $251 million dollars investment in new commercial and industrial development.
Please take the time to browse through our website and see what the City of Lights has to offer.
Mayor Tom Weisner
