History & History Related Items Aubrey history: Here is a history page for Aubrey and the area Long ago, a Cherokee Indian village was located here. It was called Onega. As the area began to be settled after the Civil War, the name remained Onega. One of the first settlers was Lemual Noah Edwards, a Civil War veteran from Alabama. He is the one noted as the founder of the town. The Texas and Pacific Railway came in 1881 when they built a section house here. Also in 1881, the name of the town was changed. The name, Onega, was not a popular one, but the difficulty remained to choose a new name. The suggestions for a name were all placed in a hat and the name of Aubrey was drawn out, giving the community the new name of Aubrey.
