Aurora’s historic landmarks tell the story of the city, from a small 19th century “trolley town” on the fringes of an emerging metropolis, to a growing suburb of the 1950s. Homes, businesses, public buildings and points of interest are the physical memories of Aurora’s rich history.

Historic Site Preservation Header
   
The history of Aurora, as illustrated by its remaining historic buildings, structures and sites, is a valuable resource that needs to be shared with the community and preserved for the future. The Aurora City Council created the Historic Preservation Commission in 1985 to assist residents in the preservation of unique community assets, both archaeological and historical. The Historic Preservation Commission’s landmarking process provides a way for both public and privately owned buildings to be preserved for future generations.
