Lupfig

Lupfig is a municipality in the district of Brugg in canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

Near the modern village of Lupfig was the source of a Roman aqueduct leading to the camp of Vindonissa.

In the 14th century, the rights to the low justice and property in the village went to Königsfelden Abbey.

While agriculture was the main economic force, starting in the middle 18th century home cotton production provided another source of income.

Due to good transportation links (A1 and A3 motorways and the Swiss Federal Railways Gotthard line) since the 1950s the village has become an industry and distribution center.

In the 1980s new residential buildings were built in Lupfig to house the growing number of commuters.
