History of Auburn Before the European settlements, Auburn was an Aboriginal centre for good exchange, social ceremonies and ritual battles. It was also home to Bennelong, the first native Aborigine to visit London to meet King George III. Captain John Hunter was the first outsider to arrive in Auburn in 1788. A settlement of free colonial settlers was set up in 1793, and large areas were made amenable to agriculture. By the late 1870s, Auburn became a small township with schools and hospitals. The 1950s witnessed a large influx of people from Asia and Europe to the area.
Auburn got municipality status in 1906. In 2016, the Auburn city council was merged with Holroyd to form the Cumberland Council to look after the local administration in the area.
