History
in a Pecan Shell
AKA Driskill, Dutch Waterhole, or Hume,
the town was named after the first name of the son of a local storekeeper.
The town was established in 1892 and seven years later a post office
opened (for just 3 years). Mail was later routed through Del
Valle.
Elroy had it’s own (segregated) schools which were eventually consolidated
in 1961.
Elroy’s population grew from twenty-five in 1933 to the present (estimate)
of 125. |
