Auburn has gone from a quaint outpost for antiques to a vibrant city bubbling with outdoor enthusiasts and creative types making Auburn happen. A new generation has moved in, and now the remaining antiques stores mix with modern boutiques and award-winning breweries, wineries and restaurants. Auburn is the seat of the Placer County government, and consists of four business districts - Old Town, Downtown, Highway 49 corridor and the Auburn Airport Business Park. The Auburn Municipal Airport and business park provides an opportunity for manufacturers, aviation-related industries and other businesses to thrive.
