Elnora is a small village located in central Alberta, Canada. You can find it north of a town called Three Hills. It's a quiet place with a unique history.
Elnora wasn't always called Elnora! It started as a village named "Stewartville" on January 2, 1908. But when a post office opened the next year, they needed a special name. So, they renamed it Elnora, combining the names of Elinor and Nora, who were the wives of the postmasters at the time.
