Former flag (1969-2011)[]
The former flag is a blue background with, what was once the city's seal in the center. The seal consisted of a white circle, with a sun rising over a blue stripe, with 5 stars under it, and the words "City of Aurora", and "Colorado" on the top and bottom. The flag was adopted in 1969.
Symbolism[]
Aurora means "Dawn" in Latin, hence the rising sun, which also represents a rising community letting its light shine and making its voice heard throughout the Rocky Mountain Empire. The five stars stand for Home, Church, School, Business, and Industry, which the city considers essential to a healthy, progressive community. The city's colors are blue and gold. The blue symbolizes the azure sky; the gold represents the minerals that made Colorado famous and resulted in its settling in the early days of the West.
