A modern community that respects its roots
Aurora is a global community that has been shaped by its history. We are home to one of the most diverse populations in Colorado and the United States. Looking past statistics, you can see a community that truly values the richness created by many cultures coming together to co-exist and thrive. We don’t shy away from our differences – we embrace them. It’s what makes us an authentic community dedicated to respecting its roots and the people who call it home.
From its beginnings in 1891, the City of Aurora has grown into a world-class community with vibrant cultural roots and a burgeoning diverse population. To understand Aurora today, we look back to the city’s military history, transportation advancements, and how industry flourished from these influences.
