Early history

The city of Auburn was founded in 1793, before the creation of Cayuga County, by John L. Hardenbergh, a veteran of the American Revolution, who is now buried in Auburn's Fort Hill Cemetery. The community grew up around a mill constructed by Hardenbergh. Originally known as "Hardenbergh's Corners" in the Town of Aurelius, the settlement was renamed "Auburn" in 1805 when it became the county seat. Auburn became an incorporated village in 1815, and Auburn received its charter as a city in 1848.

Auburn prison (Auburn Correctional Facility)

In 1816, Auburn Prison (now Auburn State Correctional Facility) was founded as a model for the contemporary ideas about treating prisoners, known now as the Auburn System.
