Fact text
- The city was originally named 'Fletcher' after a businessman who staked out the land, then literally skipped town, leaving residents stuck with his massive water debt.
- A proposed sci-fi theme park in Aurora never got built, but its script was secretly repurposed as the fake movie cover story for a real CIA hostage rescue operation, later made famous as the film *Argo*.
- The cult coming-of-age film *Over the Edge* was filmed in Aurora in 1978 and has since been dubbed the 'signature film' of Denver.
- Aurora was named *Sports Illustrated*'s 'Sportstown' for Colorado on the magazine's 50th anniversary, thanks to hosting over 30 regional and national tournaments every year.
- Aurora pioneered a technique called bank filtration in the U.S., essentially sipping fresh water from beneath a riverbed, a surprisingly clever trick for a landlocked city.
