The original Auburn was either a real or a fictitious village in Ireland, described by the Irish poet Oliver Goldsmith in his poem "The Deserted Village" (1770). In this poem, Goldsmith revisits "Auburn", a village of which he had fond memories: "Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain". Thus, the name "Auburn" was taken by Irish and British settlers to the New World of the United States, Canada, and Australia.
