Road TripsAbout AuburnOriginally named Slaughter after Lt. William A. Slaughter, who was killed in a Native American skirmish, the town of Auburn acquired its present name in 1893, a salute to the same-named town in New York. In 1912 the Northern Pacific Railroad made Auburn its western freight terminus, prompting many large locomotive shops to open. Major employers today include Boeing and the federal government's General Services Administration.
