City DescriptionAurora is a town in Sevier County, Utah, United States. The population was 947 at the 2000 census.
Aurora was founded in 1875 by Ezra White and three other families along the banks of the Sevier River. Aurora's settling came under the direction of Brigham Young. He called on families to settle South Central Utah. Originally named Willow Bend, the name was changed to Aurora due to the presence of the Northern Lights. The town was moved west two to three miles along the Rocky Ford Canal to avoid the spring flooding accompanied life along the Sevier. This location also enabled significant cultivation of the foothills.

Questions Possibly Related to Aurora, UtahProvided By Y! Answers
is it possible to see the aurora borialis from southern utah? if so what time of year?

The time of year is irrelevant. What you need is the convergence of several factors, however. One is completely clear skies to your north, and the other is increased solar radiation, as occurs with increased solar flares, which, generally, are not easy to predict.
With the apparent shift in the poles, it will become less and less likely, over the coming decades, to see them from your lower latitude, but it will always be a possibility.
Is it possible that you have seen these dancing celestial ribbons of green and red, and you are wondering if that's what they were?
If you see such a grand spectacle, that delights your eyes, and humbles you, and you have no other explanation for it, then what you saw was the northern lights....
Namaste,
--Tom
