Auburn me Wedding

Auburn is a city in and the county seat of Androscoggin CountyGR6, Maine, USA. It is one of two principal cities of and included in the Lewiston-Auburn, Maine Metropolitan New England City and Town Area and the Lewiston-Auburn, Maine Metropolitan Statistical Area (which is part of the Portland-Lewiston-South Portland, Maine Combined Statistical Area).

Auburn is situated on the Androscoggin River, across from its twin city, Lewiston, and named for a Yorkshire village. It was settled in 1786. Incorporated as a town in 1842, Auburn became a city in 1868. By annexing land from towns around it, including part of Poland in 1852, Minot in 1873, and all of Danville in 1867, Auburn grew geographically into one of Maine's largest municipalities. It was the first city in the state to adopt a council-manager form of government, in 1917.

Like Lewiston, Auburn thrived as a mill town in the 19th century, with its shoe factories attracting many French Canadian settlers. The factory system of shoe manufacture originated here in 1835.
