Aubrey is a city in Denton County, Texas, United States. Its population was 5,006 at the 2020 census.
In 1885, Edwards offered a lot to each congregation that would build a church within a year. In 1882, Edwards and Louis Caddel Sr. donated land for a one-room schoolhouse in town. Edwards, through one of his daughters—Edna Mae Edwards (1884–1975), who married Hugh Tobin (1884–1929)—was the grandfather of Louise Tobin, a prolific big-band jazz vocalist who attained national acclaim in 1932.
Eventually, Aubrey became known for the peanut farms that surrounded the town. By 2009, horse ranches surrounded Aubrey. Around that time, houses were constructed in Aubrey, replacing the grounds of the old peanut farms.
