| About Aurora
- Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city. The municipality is split between Arapahoe and Adams County, with a small portion lying in
Douglas County. The city and its western neighbor are the principal cities of the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area. As of the 2000
Census, the city had a total population of 276,900. The latest Census estimates place the city's population at 291,843, making it the
61st-largest in the United States. The city will soon reach the milestone of 300,000 residents.
In 1891, Donald Fletcher founded a town on the plains east of Denver and named it after himself. The real
estate tycoon ran out two years later, leaving the new residents with bond payments for non-existent water. The town was renamed
Aurora in 1907, and remained a small community until after World War II. Postwar suburban development transformed the town into what
became the fastest growing city in the United States during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
