History of Elba

Elba got its name from a famous island called Elba in the Mediterranean Sea. This island is well-known because Napoleon Bonaparte, a famous French leader, was once sent there.

A post office was opened in Elba in 1871. This was an important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years, finally closing its doors in 1984.
