Auburn stands on land the Creeks gave up in the Treaty of Cusseta of 1832, though some Creeks resisted until they were forced out between 1832 and 1836. In late 1836 Judge John Jackson Harper of Harris County, Georgia, arrived with his family, relatives and enslaved people, intending to build a religious and educational center for the region. Auburn was incorporated on February 2, 1839, in what was then Macon County. Churches, a school and separate academies for boys and girls drew planter families in the 1840s and 1850s, and by 1858 about half of Auburn's roughly 1,000 free residents were students.
In 1856 the legislature chartered the Methodist East Alabama Male College, which opened in 1859 and is now Auburn University. When the Civil War began in 1861 the schools closed and the town emptied; Auburn hosted a hospital for Texas Confederate soldiers and saw fighting only during the Union raids of Rousseau in 1864 and Wilson in 1865. A long depression followed, and fires in the 1860s and 1870s gutted downtown. The college passed to the state in 1872 as a land-grant school, and in 1892 it admitted women and fielded a football team. Auburn got electric lights in 1886, telephones in 1904 and running water in 1908, and by 1910 its population had returned to its antebellum level. Visitors over the years included Presidents James K. Polk, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt, Jefferson Davis, the Wright brothers and Booker T. Washington.
