Auburn Overview

Auburn is a small city spread out over a 65 square mile area. Its history dates back to the 1700s and makes for interesting reading. The people here tend to be down-to-earth, proportionately liberal and welcoming to newcomers. Although life in Auburn may seem quiet for some, it's just two hours away from Portland and Boston, meaning that those who want a taste of city life don't have far to drive. There are many nice neighborhoods including those consisting primarily of apartment dwellers. So, there's something for everyone in this corner of Maine.

Auburn still has a strong industrial backbone that began in the industrial revolution. The area that became Auburn was obtained in the Pejepscot Purchase. A group from Portsmouth in Boston negotiated the treaty and paid for the land. The Treaty of Portsmouth brought peace between the English settlements and Abenaki Indians. In 1736, a large section of land was granted to veterans of the Battle of Quebec, which occurred in 1690. This led to litigation that left the borders and ownership of the land in question for some time to come. In 1786, Auburn was part of Bakerstown, later renamed Poland. Then, it became part of Minot and was incorporated in 1802. The arrival of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad in 1848 eventually led to the development of a mill town. In the late 19th century, Auburn became is shoe manufacturing center. In fact, the city seal still depicts two spindles. Today, many industries still operate in the city, producing plastic laminates, electrical components and automotive parts, among other products.
