Aurora

Aurora was laid out by Jesse L. Holman, trustee for the “Aurora Association for Internal Improvements” in 1819. Judge Holman was an early statesman, preacher, educator, and Federal Justice.

His son, U.S. Congressman William S. Holman served this district many years and was called “the Watchdog of the Treasury”.
