Auraria est une petite ville champignon créée sur le site de l'actuelle Denver, le 1er novembre 1858, par William Greeneberry Russell et plusieurs colons venus de Géorgie, trois semaines avant que William Larimer, Jr. ne fonde Denver sur le Cherry Creek. Son nom vient du substantif féminin romain auraria qui signifie « mine d'or » en latin. (fr)
