Elnora /ɛlˈnɔːrə/ is a village in central Alberta, Canada that is north of Three Hills. It was first organized as a village on January 2, 1908 as "Stewartville" but was renamed to Elnora (for Elinor & Nora, the wives of the postmasters) when the opening of a post office the next year required a unique name.
