The History of Aubrey
History Book
 The History of Aubrey is a 200 page book which documents the history of Aubrey and the surrounding communities from the mid 1800's through 1950. The History of Aubrey surprised everyone. The Aubrey Historical Society sold all of the first printing of the book within 3 � weeks. A second and final printing of the book was printed in January, 2013, and only 100 of the books remain available for sale. Members of the Aubrey Historical Society worked for 2 years gathering history and writing narratives of items of historical significance in the Aubrey Area's past. Reviewers have commented on the interesting stories, quality of the photos, and overall quality of the book. The book includes 200 pages, with 257 photos, 140 Aubrey area history narratives, and 83 family histories, prepared by 64 different writers. This diversity has contributed to the success of the book.
The books are available for sale Jackie's Hardware at 202 South Main Street in Aubrey.
