A Little Town With a Big Heart

These are the mucklands and uplands, where men and women of hardy farm stock raise potatoes, onions, corn, dairy herds, scholars, and atheletes. The tiny village, just six miles north of Batavia, doesn't even have a traffic light. Elba is an easy place to raise a family, where life revolves around the churces and school and goes by a much slower pace.

Elba is one of the loveliest little towns in its own quiet way, with its glistening white houses surrounded by spacious green lawns, shaded by stately old trees and glorified by gardens from which old fashioned flowers lend color and fragrance. Many are drawn here for the serene surroundings, our excellent educational system and the community spirit that is felt as soon as one visits our little town.

Like our forefathers, the present generation finds comfort in raising their children here and expresses their belief that the next generation will feel the same way. May the next 175 years prove as kind to Elba and its people as the first 175 years have been.
