History
editElba was originally called Beecherville, and under the latter name the first permanent settlement was made in 1873.[2] A post office named Elba was established in 1883, and remained in operation until 1996.[3] The present name is a transfer from the island of Elba, in Italy.[2]
Elba's population was 212 in 1909,[4] and was 70 in 1960.[5]
