Homesteaders first arrived in Aurora in 1866, laying the groundwork for its role as an agricultural hub in south-central Nebraska. Centuries later, miles of crop fields still frame the Hamilton County seat, which is anchored by a supportive community. “What you will find in Aurora is that if there is a cause, people will get behind it,” says Tina Larson, a longtime resident and executive director of Plainsman Museum. “The locals are big supporters of their children and the school. You also don’t have to leave town to get what you need.” Residents also value the area for its quiet atmosphere and active downtown district. Single-family homes dominate the market in Aurora.
