The motto of Aurora's northern neighbor, "The Village with a View to the Future," is perhaps most appropriate. The town is looking ahead, expanding its boundaries and inviting new residents, as housing developments and new businesses, at a steady flow, become fixtures of the community. The Sesquicentennial Yearbook, put out in 1984 by North Aurorians celebrating the village's 150 years, is perhaps the most comprehensive account of the town's history. According to the yearbook, North Aurora used to be known as Schneider's Mill, or Schneider's Crossing, 161 years ago. At least that was the mailing address the U.S. Post Office recognized. That name came from a grist mill built by John Peter Schneider, the first settler to this valley locale, who came here in 1834.
