Aurora, IL, is the second largest city in Illinois, with a population of 171,782, and part of the Chicago metropolitan area. The city refers to itself as The City of Lights because it was one of the first cities in the United States to implement an all-electric street lighting system in 1881. Aurora has its own zoo, the Phillips Park Zoo, which is one of the oldest in the area (established in 1915). Aurora is one of the oldest settlements in the area, and it was originally two villages on either side of the Fox River. When the two villages joined, they couldn't decide on which side of the river to have the public buildings, so most of the public buildings were built on Stolp Island, in the middle of the Fox River. Both sides of Aurora still maintain a rivalry which is enacted through yearly high school football and basketball games. This is the oldest high-school rivalry in the state of Illinois! President George W. Bush was the second sitting president to visit Aurora, Illinois, on July 7, 2006. The first was Theodore Roosevelt in 1904.

During the 90's, when the Saturday Night Live skit Wayne's World grew in popularity, many people outside of Aurora associated the city with Wayne's World, where Wayne and Garth lived. Wayne's World was about two men, Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey), who lived in Aurora. The characters emerged from the recurring Saturday Night Live skit. One of the original authors of the skit was from neighboring Naperville, Illinois, and thought Aurora had the appropriate blue-collar feel desired for the characters. This underlined a long rivalry between Naperville and Aurora. Though most of the movie was filmed elsewhere, there are at least one or two bits that were filmed on location in Aurora, most notably the scene in which a White Castle is shown. For a long time, at least from 1992 to 1994, the "Welcome to Aurora" sign that is seen when entering Aurora from Chicago had the graffiti spraypainted underneath, "Home of Wayne and Garth." It almost seemed like the city officials allowed it to stay there for tourism reasons before they replaced the sign in 1994.
IMSA is a three-year residential public high school located in Aurora, Illinois, which draws students based on academic ability throughout the state of Illinois, and so it is often referred to as a magnet school. Nobel laureate Leon Lederman (who discovered the bottom quark and who is the author of The God Particle), director emeritus of nearby Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, (or Fermilab for short), was among the first to propose the school in 1982, and together with Governor Jim Thompson led the effort for its creation. IMSA's first class graduated in 1989. IMSA is one of the few high schools in the country to possess a .edu second-level domain, and when the internet was invented, IMSA students were among the youngest to have free access to it.
