A Native American village once stood in what is now downtown Aurora on the Fox River. In 1834, after the Black Hawk War, the McCarty brothers settled on both banks and later sold the west side to the Lake brothers, who opened a mill, while the McCartys ran a mill on the east side. A post office opened in 1837. The town began as two villages, East Aurora, incorporated in 1845, and West Aurora, organized in 1854. A wave of Luxembourgish immigrants arrived between 1850 and 1870. The two joined as the City of Aurora in 1857, and because they could not agree which side should have the public buildings, most were built on Stolp Island in the middle of the river.
In 1849, having failed to attract the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad, local backers chartered the Aurora Branch Railroad to connect with it at Turner Junction, now West Chicago. More lines followed, and in 1855 the company became the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. The CB&Q's roundhouse and locomotive shops in Aurora were the town's largest employer until the 1960s, and many other railroads and interurbans once ran to the city. In 1881 Aurora was one of the first cities in the United States to light its streets entirely with electricity, and in 1908 it adopted the nickname City of Lights. Founded in Kane County, it has since spread into DuPage, Kendall and Will counties and grown into one of the largest cities in the Chicago area. Sources Wikipedia: Aurora, Illinois
