Historic downtown Aurora, North Carolina, and surrounding Richland Township, is where history intersects with a vibrant waterfront, plentiful outdoor recreation activities, and an abundant agricultural and aquacultural community. Whether you are looking for fossils, learning about “Betty Town” and the area’s history as an Underground Railroad stop and Tuscarora and Algonquin tribal lands, or simply enjoying a day of fishing or boating on the nearby Pamlico River, Aurora-Richland Township welcomes you.

The Partnership for Aurora-Richland Township Progress is committed to the revitalization, growth and economic development of downtown Aurora.
