History of Aurora Northeast

The British Crown conducted a survey of this region in 1802. The initial group of settlers consisted of United Empire Loyalists who were granted 200 acre plots of land as a token of appreciation, for their loyalty to the Crown. Before receiving ownership rights settlers had to construct houses fence off 10 acres for farming and clear their land where it met a side road or concession.

In 2010 Aurora Northeast embarked on a direction as it transformed from an area into a mixed use neighbourhood. This change was set in motion when the Aurora Town Council approved the 2C Secondary Plan, which was later endorsed by the Ontario Municipal Board in 2011. This plan serves as a guideline for development in the Aurora Northeast neighbourhood. Encompasses various aspects such, as housing, infrastructure, employment opportunities and environmental considerations.
