History

Auburn is an incorporation of two towns. Calvert and Sheridan combined to form Auburn in 1882, [4] in part to have the voting power to wrestle the county seat away from Brownville, Nebraska, a village located ten miles east. The incorporation was successful, and in 1883, Auburn was named the county seat. [5] The city is named after Auburn, New York. [6]

The only person to be elected to the United States Congress as a member of the Prohibitionist Party, Charles Hiram Randall, was born in Auburn on July 23, 1865.

From 1910 to 1913, Auburn was home to the Auburn Athletics, a Class C level minor league baseball team. The Auburn Athletics played as members of the Missouri-Iowa-Nebraska-Kansas League for the duration of the league. The Auburn Athletics played home games at the Legion Memorial Park. Still in use today, Legion Memorial Park is designated as a National Historic Park site. The address is 1015 J Street. [7] [8] [9] [10]

Geography and climate

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.18 square miles (5.65 km2), all land. [11]
