History:

AURORA, founded in 1898 and incorporated on November 25, 1903, is a city in sections 9 and 10 of White Township (T. 58N, R. 15W). The post office was established in 1903 and had a Duluth and Iron Range Railroad station. This Latin name, meaning "the morning," is borne by cities in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Nebraska, a township of this state in Steele County, and villages and townships in 13 other states.

Courtesy Minnesota Historical Society

Aurora (1,478 alt., 1,528 pop.), its name from the Latin meaning "morning," is an eastern Mesabi Range mining town that was moved from its original location to improve its railroad facilities.

Although ore had been found in paying quantities at Biwabik in 1891, most of the subsequent exploratory work was done on the western end of the Mesabi. The Meadow Mine (exhausted), the first in the vicinity of the unborn Aurora, was explored in 1898. A settlement grew near the mine and, in 1903, was incorporated as a village. It soon was evident, however, that the location (one mile north of the present site) was too far from the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad, which served the Vermilion Range and the eastern end of the Mesabi. Today's town site was platted by E. J. Longyear, and building was begun in 1905. The village then moved to its new location on the railroad, and a period of rapid development followed.

The mines here have not been operated so extensively as those on other parts of the range, but vast reserves underlie the district. Mining inactivity temporarily has checked the growth of the community. Aurora is, however, the trade center for a growing number of miners who have turned to farming, especially dairying, for a livelihood. It has a municipally owned potato warehouse of 18,ooo bushels capacity for certified seed and table stock.

Aurora’s three tapestry-brick schools, Aurora High, Hearding High, and Johnson Grade, stand on a 15 acre campus (corner 4th Ave. and Vermilion St.). Shell-pink Kasota stone and Flemish-gray oak finish the halls of the high school. The agricultural department supervises a complete dairy room, in which milk is pasteurized for distribution to undernourished pupils. The music department has a 3o-piece orchestra, which has won -wide honors, and a 48-piece band. Housed in the high school is a museum containing 225 mounted specimens of birds, 25 mounted animals, 1694 mounted classified insects, miniatures of a lumber camp, open-pit mine, and farm. There is also a large collection of fossils-fish, reptiles, leaves, and plants. The Village Hall, built in 1930, houses the fire department and library.

The village is within easy driving distance of the Vermilion Lake region, the Superior National Forest, and Esquagama Lake. Colby and Whitewater lakes, three miles east of Aurora, provide picnic, camping, and recreational facilities.

Mesabi Trail

The Taconite State Trail stretches 165 miles from Grand Rapids to Ely and intersects with the Arrowhead State Trail just west of Lake Vermillion. Portions are paved for biking and in-line skating. The remainder of the natural surface trail is used primarily for snowmobiling in the winter. The trail goes through a few areas that have standing water in the summer, however portions of the trail are suitable for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking. The Taconite Trail winds through forests of birch and aspen intertwined with pine, leading the visitor by many isolated lakes and streams. From Grand Rapids heading north, you see the impact of the taconite and iron mining industry. The northern portion of the trail terrain is rolling and tree covered as it winds through state and national forest land. Eight trail waysides and picnic facilities offer scenic vistas of the hills, lakes and rivers of this area. The trail also links three state parks: Bear Head Lake, Soudan Underground Mine, and McCarthy Beach. The landscape in and around Bear Head Lake State Park is very rolling and rocky.
