Aurora
Once a budding frontier town of farmers and ranchers situated east of the state's capital, is now Colorado's third-largest city. Aurora's journey from an agricultural outpost to a military bastion solidified its foundation as a driving force in the West, and the city has continued to grow and evolve ever since.
Aurora is home to several quality educational institutions, with four school districts and eight higher-learning campuses catering to residents' and non-residents' instructional needs. The city's Aurora Scholars program, an annual event, honors a student in every grade in every Aurora school. Aurora also offers a thriving business environment located just a few minutes away from the Denver International Airport, with major industries such as aerospace and defense, renewable energy, bioscience and health care, and transportation and logistics. The city nurtures large and small businesses alike through programs such as Aurora: Here for Business and the Aurora-South Metro Small Business Development Center.
With over 450 neighborhoods, Aurora offers tree-lined streets, open prairie, majestic mountain views, and numerous neighborhood parks, making it a comfortable place to call home. Aurora's climate is mild and dry, with more than 300 days of sunshine year-round, offering residents and visitors ample opportunity to stay fit and enjoy all that Colorado living has to offer.
Making up half of Denver’s population, suburban Aurora is practically its own city in size. The city was founded in the 1880s and has a vibrant history. In 1965 Aurora had the first woman mayor of a U.S. city with a population over 60,000 – Mayor Norma Walker. Today the town continues in its tradition of diversity and unique stories; it’s a vibrant and inviting environment to live in. Aurora is filled with culture, home to people from many backgrounds and countries living in its many subdivisions. With over 100 parks and nearly 6,000 acres of natural and open space, Aurora is a perfect representation of why Metro Denver is so great. Multiple farms, ranches, golf areas, and museums keep Aurora an always vibrant and an ever-exciting place to live.
