HISTORY OF NEW AUBURN

Historical Photo of New Auburn Farmers StoreNew Auburn was originally named Cartwright’s Mills. This was because lumbering was the main industry and David W. Cartwright owned the sawmill. The name was then changed to Cartwright and the sawmill was called Cartwright Mills. Part of the village was in the township of Auburn, which caused the Village to be named New Auburn.

As the trees were cleared from the land, agriculture soon became the main industry, with more farms, and fewer mills. The main industry in present time is the resorts and businesses in the surrounding area and the few businesses within the village limits. Recreation and tourism have replaced agriculture as the main industry as people from outside the area have discovered the beauty of the surrounding lakes.
