Aurora is an old ghost town located in western Nevada. The town was first founded 1860, and the town's gold mines were very active and prosperous, at one point attracting thousands of settlers and miners to the remote town. However, due to the relatively small size of the mines and the mining boom, all the gold and silver mines were used up by 1870, and most people left the town. Mark Twain lived in Aurora for a short time.
