Aurora ny Wedding

Aurora is a town in Erie County, New York, USA. The population was 13,996 at the 2000 census.

The Town of Aurora is one of the "Southtowns" of Erie County and is also erroneously called East Aurora, the name of its principal village. The town is centrally located in the county, southeast of Buffalo, New York.

Christ the King Seminary is located in the northeast part of the town.

The town was created in 1818 from the (now defunct) "Town of Willink". Willink once contained all the southern part of Erie County. By a close vote, citizens voted to change the name to "Aurora" in a display of their growing dissatisfaction with the Holland Land Company and its stockholders, which included Wilheim Willink.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 94.2 km (36.4 mi), all land.

New York State Route 240 is a major route through the southwest part of the town.
