Car Hire Aurora - Mini guide to Aurora
Aurora, Illinois is the second largest city in the state. It has a population of more than 175,000 people. The city lies within four different counties: Dupage, Kane, Kendall, and Will. The majority of the population reside in Kane County. An interesting nickname that Aurora has earned is “The City of Lights” because it was one of the first cities in the state of Illinois to have an all-electric system of street lights. This was implemented in 1881. The nickname, however, was not officially adopted until 1908.
The city of Aurora is home to a major Hindu temple called the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple of Greater Chicago. It is a non-profit organization. Aurora is also home to the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy and Aurora University.
For those who want to see nature, you can find many great animals at the Phillips Park Zoo. For those who love sightseeing, there are also many museums in the city that attract a lot of history buffs and art lovers. Many of these museums and other landmarks are located in the downtown area of Aurora. There is the Paramount Arts Centre, the Hollywood Casino and the Leland Tower. The Leland Tower was once a hotel and the tallest building in Illinois outside of the city limits of Chicago. In September, downtown Aurora hosts the Midwest Literary Festival annually.
Sports were once a big part of the Aurora pride. In the early twentieth century Aurora was home to the Islanders (also known as the Blue and the Foxes), a minor league baseball team. Now most of the sports are local, high school athletics.
