Auburn, Maine: The Other Half of the Twin Cities
Auburn faces Lewiston across the Androscoggin River, and the two cities have operated as economic partners since the early days of Maine's industrial period. While Lewiston concentrated on textiles, Auburn became known for shoe manufacturing. By the late 1800s, dozens of shoe factories operated in the city, and Auburn was one of the leading shoe-producing centers in the United States. The industry declined through the 20th century as production moved overseas, but some of the old factory buildings along the river have found new uses.
Lake Auburn, a few miles north of the city center, serves as the public water supply for both Auburn and Lewiston. The watershed is protected, and the lake is closed to most recreational activity to preserve water quality. Lost Valley ski area, a small community hill on the outskirts of Auburn, has provided affordable skiing and snowboarding for local families since 1961.
The Great Falls area, where the river drops between the two cities, has been the focus of redevelopment efforts. A riverwalk connects parks and trails along the water, and the former industrial district is gradually shifting toward mixed-use development. Auburn's population sits around 23,000, and the city serves as a co-seat of Androscoggin County alongside Lewiston.
