Welcome to Heritage ABCs, a new series from ARCH, Inc.🎉🎉

We’re exploring the people, places, and stories that shaped Fort Wayne one letter at a time.

A is for Auburn.

The Auburn Automobile Company became one of Northeast Indiana’s most celebrated early auto manufacturers, known for luxury design and bold innovation in the early 1900s.

Its legacy is a reminder that our region’s history is built on craftsmanship, ambition, and community pride.

Follow along as we continue from A to Z.
