Aurora became the economic center of the <a href="/wiki/Fox_Valley_(Illinois)" title="Fox Valley (Illinois)">Fox Valley region</a>. The combination of these three factors—a highly industrialized town, a sizable river that divided it, and the Burlington railroad's shops—accounted for much of the dynamics of Aurora's political, economic, and social history. The city openly supported <a href="/wiki/Abolitionism_in_the_United_States" title="Abolitionism in the United States">abolitionism</a> before the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>. <a href="/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexican</a> migrants began arriving after the <a href="/wiki/Mexican_Revolution" title="Mexican Revolution">Mexican Revolution</a> of 1910. Socially, the town was <a href="/wiki/Progressivism" title="Progressivism">progressive</a> in its attitude toward education, religion, welfare, and women. The first free public school district in Illinois was established in 1851 here and the city established a high school for girls in 1855. </p><p>During this period in the city's history, Aurora was also hit with one of the strongest earthquakes ever <a href="/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Illinois" title="List of earthquakes in Illinois">to strike Illinois</a>, a M 5.1, on May 26, 1909<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Later, the city developed as a manufacturing powerhouse which lasted until the early 1970s, when the railroad shops closed. Many other factories and industrial areas relocated or went out of business. By 1980, there were few industrial areas operating in the city, and unemployment soared to 16%.<sup id="cite_ref-Encyclopedia_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Encyclopedia-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the late 1970s and early 1980s, development began in the Far East side along the Eola Road and Route 59 areas. This was financially beneficial to the city, but it sapped retail businesses downtown and manufacturing in the industrial sectors of the near East and West Sides, weakening them. In the mid-1980s crime rates soared and street gangs formed. </p><p>During this time Aurora became much more ethnically diverse. The Latino population grew rapidly in the city during the 1980s. In the late 1980s, several business and industrial parks were established on the city's outskirts. In 1993, the Hollywood Casino was built downtown, which helped bring the first redevelopment to the downtown area in nearly twenty years. In the late 1990s, more development began in the rural areas and towns outside Aurora.
