Durham is a quiet rural town of gentle hills, open fields, and green forests with a long proud history. Not far from the cities of Portland, Auburn and Lewiston, and only 10 minutes from Freeport and the coast, Durham remains a place where time slows down and life is a little less hurried.

Established in 1869, the City of Auburn is Maine’s fourth largest City with a population of 23,203. We are a municipality rich in history that maintains its traditional values and yet continues to move forward. Etched on the walls of our newly renovated City Hall Building are the words “Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum” which translates to “No Steps Backward”.
