The first permanent settlers in Auburn made the long trek from Watertown in
1722. They came for land, and the community remained primarily a farming
town during most of the 19th century. By the end of the century, however,
improved transportation and expansion of industrial developments in
Worcester created a commuting population which lived in Auburn and went to
work in Worcester every day. This initiated the town's significant bedroom
community component and resulted in clusters of suburban residences being
developed. These clusters grew and spread as streetcar service between
Auburn and Worcester was established, although the watermills making yarn
and textiles still operated and there was still a strong farming element.
After World War II, much of the remaining agricultural land was subdivided
and developed, and Auburn became home to its present population, which
lives in town but goes elsewhere to work.
The town has retained some of its colonial buildings and the original stage
coach stop to display its historic past. A more recent event, however,
ties Auburn to the 21st century and beyond. The first liquid propelled
rocket ever flown was set off from Auburn by Dr. Robert Goddard in 1926,
heralding the interplanetary and orbital rockets which continue to take
Americans toward the stars.
South central Massachusetts, bordered by Worcester on the north and northeast,
Millbury on the east, Oxford on the south and southwest, and Leicester on the
west. Auburn is 8 miles south of Worcester, 44 miles west of Boston, and 170
miles from New York City.
