Aurora occupies both banks of the Fox River in northeastern Illinois. The river has shaped the city’s downtown, where the Paramount Theatre, an Art Deco movie palace opened in 1931, remains a leading performance venue. Aurora developed as a manufacturing and rail centre during the 19th century, and its historic core still brings together older commercial blocks and civic spaces near the water. The Fox River Trail follows the river through the city, connecting neighbourhoods with a wider route for walking and cycling.
