History
Auburn is an incorporation of two towns, Calvert and Sheridan, which combined in 1882 in part to have the voting power to wrestle the county seat away from Brownville, a village located ten miles to the east. The incorporation was successful, and in 1883, Auburn was named the county seat. The city is named after Auburn, New York. The only person to be elected to the United States Congress as a member of the Prohibitionist Party, Charles Hiram Randall, was born in Auburn on July 23, 1865. From 1910 to 1913, Auburn was home to the Auburn Athletics, a Class C level minor league baseball team. The Auburn Athletics played as members of the Missouri-Iowa-Nebraska-Kansas League for the duration of the league. The Auburn Athletics played home games at the Legion Memorial Park. Still in use today, Legion Memorial Park is designated as a National Historic Park site. The address is 1015 J Street.
