INTRODUCTION
Home to Auburn University, the City of Auburn offers many of the amenities
of a larger city while maintaining the small town feel.
The City of Auburn was founded in 1836. Today, the City is known as one of the more progressive cities in
the south with a nationally ranked public school system and diverse population. Auburn University creates
a significant international presence with over 800 international students enrolled and 1,100 international
employees. Many other foreign nationals also live and work in the community, and it is estimated that two
of three Auburn residents are from other parts of the country creating a cosmopolitan feel.
Auburn University’s presence makes the town quite different from most small cities.
A sense of community pride is created from the university as Auburn citizens and local alumni proudly
identify themselves as being from Auburn, home of Auburn University. As a member of one of the nation’s
top collegiate athletic conferences (SEC), the university hosts major sporting events year-round. These
events generate a tremendous amount of excitement and entertainment for area residents. The university
offers many other activities of interest including art shows, theatre, speakers, and concerts.
Downtown is the heart of the loveliest village on the plains, located adjacent to Auburn University.
Downtown Auburn is lively with thriving retail that
includes unique shops, fine and casual dining, quaint
coffee shops, bookstores, banks, and hot night spots.
Toomer’s Corner, an Auburn tradition since the late
1800s, is the focal point of downtown. Located at the
intersection of South College Street and Magnolia
Avenue, Toomer’s is known as the gateway from the
Auburn community to Auburn University.
TOOMER’S CORNER IS KNOWN FOR
ITS WORLD FAMOUS LEMONADE.
Auburn University’s greatest athletes, coaches and
administrators are honored each year in the Tiger
Trail of Downtown. Each inductee is presented with a
granite plaque placed in the sidewalk of downtown.
