Aurora is a small place in Madison County, Arkansas, United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a city or town with its own local government.
Aurora is located in the beautiful state of Arkansas. You can find it south of a town called Huntsville. It sits right where two roads meet: AR 127 and AR 23. A pretty stream called War Eagle Creek flows right by the community.
