Kaiseraugst is a Swiss Municipality in the canton Aargau at the Upper Rhine.
background
The community lies on the border with the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The river Ergolz, which flows into the Rhine here, forms the border between the two cantons. While the Basellandschaftliche Augst is on the western bank of the Egholz, Kaiseraugst is on the eastern bank. Both localities are from the Roman Augusta Raurica originated in 45 BC. Roman city founded in BC was located here on the Ergolz. Until 1442 the two localities were not yet separated and formed one place, but due to the demarcation along the Egholz, the two districts came under different rule.
