Aurora, IL, Real Estate
Aurora, Illinois, is a city steeped in history and diversity, located along the Fox River in the northeastern part of the state. Established in 1834 by the McCarty brothers, it quickly grew from a modest settlement named McCarty's Mill to a bustling urban center known as Aurora. The city's nickname, "The City of Lights," was earned when it became one of the first in the United States to implement an all-electric street lighting system in 1881. Aurora's economic backbone was once the heavy industry, particularly the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad shops, which made it a manufacturing powerhouse until the early 1970s. The city has a rich cultural tapestry due to waves of immigrants from Europe and Mexico, contributing to its social, economic, and political development. Today, Aurora is the second most populous city in Illinois, with a population around 200,000, known for its historic downtown centered on Stolp Island, significant cultural institutions like the Paramount Theatre, and a blend of modern development with historical preservation. Its diverse community is served by excellent educational facilities, including Aurora University and Waubonsee Community College, making it a vibrant place to live, work, and visit.
