About Aurora, Colorado

Aurora is a home rule city located in Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties, Colorado, United States. Aurora originated in the 1890 as the town of Fletcher, taking its name from Denver businessman Donald Fletcher who saw it as a real estate opportunity. The Town of Fletcher was incorporated on May 5, 1903. Fletcher skipped town, leaving the community with a huge water debt. (Wikipedia)
