Originally known as Schneider’s Crossing, North Aurora began with the arrival of two
brothers in search of a location to build a saw mill. John Peter and Nicholas Schneider
left their home near Frankfurt on-the-Rhine around 1823, arriving in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, in 1824. The brothers found work as carpenters and millwrights.
In 1832, John Peter and his family traveled westward via rivers and Lake Michigan to the
state of Michigan. They took up their journey again in 1833, and got as far west as what is
now called Naperville. Nicholas joined his brother shortly thereafter, and they built a
sawmill at the mouth of Blackberry Creek near Yorkville. Nicholas remained on the
property, but John continued on into the Fox River Valley, settling with his family on the
east side of the river on a hill near the site of the present Village Hall. In 1837, a dam was
constructed to provide power to the mill John Peter had built. The commercial activity
surrounding the mill attracted more families to the area. By the turn of the 19th century
approximately 300 people lived in town. In 1905, North Aurora (the name of the local post
office) was incorporated as a village. According to the 2010 Census, the population of
North Aurora is 16,760.
The Village of North Aurora is proud to continue the North Aurora Days tradition of
providing a fun-filled weekend of activities and entertainment for the whole family in our
great community. The sponsors, volunteers, and participants of North Aurora Days have
been working hard to plan and provide a great celebration filled with fun for the entire
family.
