Aurora was incorporated as the town of Fletcher on April 30, 1891. The new town, one of many suburbs sprouting up around Denver, was four square miles of prairie reaching from Yosemite Street east to Peoria Street and 6th Avenue north to 26th Avenue. Named after one of the developers, Donald Fletcher, the town boasted 39 citizens, the beginnings of a water system and 14 new brick homes designed with indoor plumbing. – See more at: https://www.auroragov.org/things_to_do/aurora_history_museum/aurora_history/#sthash.rJub69fs.dpuf
