Auburn is an unincorporated community in Weld County, Colorado, United States. Auburn is five miles south of Downtown Greeley.〔"The Crossing: Six Degrees." ''Rocky Mountain News''. Tuesday January 23, 2007. (2 ).〕 In the 1960s Auburn was a farming community with no general stores and no post offices. Many of the families were first, second, and third generation immigrants with German-Russian, Mexican, and Swedish heritage. Families attended Baptist, Catholic, and Congregational churches in Greeley, Gilcrest, and Platteville.〔 On December 14, 1961, Union Pacific's "City of Denver" passenger train collided with a school bus, killing twenty children who were on board.〔 Sixteen children and the driver survived. The crash was the deadliest traffic accident in Colorado history.〔"The Crossing: Six Degrees." ''Rocky Mountain News''. Tuesday January 23, 2007.

Retrieved on December 10, 2008.〕 For many years Auburn had a school district and a school. A legislative study posted by the mid-1950s recommended reorganizing Colorado's school districts and declared school district reorganization as the state's main priority. Between 1956 and 1961 nearly 700 school districts closed, leaving 275 open. As a consequence, many small schools in Colorado began to close as a result of the district closures. The Auburn School District and the three-room school in Auburn closed, causing children to attend schools in Greeley beginning in 1961.〔〔"The Crossing: Six Degrees." ''Rocky Mountain News''. Tuesday January 23, 2007. (4 ).〕 During that year children were assigned to Delta Elementary School, Meeker Junior High School, and Greeley High School.〔"The Crossing: Six Degrees." ''Rocky Mountain News''. Tuesday January 23, 2007. (2 ).〕 Delta Elementary School no longer exists.〔"The Crossing: Six Degrees." ''Rocky Mountain News''. Tuesday January 23, 2007.
