The City of Auburn was founded in 1836. The city is known as one of the more progressive cities in the south with a nationally ranked public school system and a diverse population. Auburn University creates a significant international presence within the community with 2,235 international students enrolled and 500 international employees. Many other foreign nationals live and work in the community, and it is estimated that two of three residents are from other parts of the country creating a cosmopolitan feel. Jordan-Hare Stadium, home to Auburn University’s football team, is the nation’s 10th largest on-campus football stadium with a seating capacity of 87,451. Auburn University’s presence makes the town quite different from most small cities. A sense of community pride is created from the university as Auburn citizens and local alumni proudly identify themselves as being from Auburn, home of Auburn University. As a member of one of the nation’s top athletic conferences (SEC), the university hosts major sporting events year-round.
