AURORA, a village of Cayuga county, NewYork, U.S.A., on Cayuga Lake, 16 m.
At Aurora are also the Somes school (a preparatory school for boys), founded in 1798 and until 1904 known as the Cayuga Lake Academy, and the Wells school (a preparatory school for girls).
Aurora was settled in 1789 chiefly by residents of New England, and was incorporated in 1905.
Aurora was one of the three towns—Aurora, Holland and Wales—into which the remainder of the old town of Willink was divided on the 15th of April, 1818.
The town is situated near the center of the county, east of the West Transit, and is bounded on the north by Elm; on the east by Wales, on the south by Colden and on the west by East Hamburg.
The construction of the Buffalo, NewYork and Philadelphia (now the Western NewYork and Pennsylvania) Railroad in 1867 gave the latter place a new impetus, and in 1873 the old village corporation was extended over both villages, which took the name of East Aurora.
