Located in northeastern Ohio; Aurora began as part of the Connecticut Western Reserve and drew many of its first settlers from New England. The city was founded in 1799; with its residents making their living from hunting; farming; and milling. As settlers cleared the land; planted their crops; and raised their animals; they retained their New England heritage; reflected in the many "century homes" found in the town. The area remained largely rural until the mid-20th century; with dairy farmers shipping cheese all over the country and to Europe from 1850 to 1910. Aurora has served as a bedroom community from the 1900s to the 1960s; and Geauga Lake has been a vacation destination since the 1860s. Currently Aurora retains much of its rural charm with Audubon lands; nature reserves; and many lakes and wetlands.
