Aurora, Nevada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aurora, Nevada is a ghost town located in western central Nevada, USA, approximately three miles from the California border. The town was founded in 1860, and at one point had a population of around 10,000. Aurora's mines produced $27 million worth of gold by 1869. The town was governed by both California and Nevada until it was determined that the town lay entirely in Nevada. Aurora is located in Mineral County about 22 miles southwest of the town of Hawthorne.
