History
editThe community was established in 1871 as a station on the International–Great Northern Railroad, and named after the landowner, who donated his property for the townsite. The town's population fluctuated between 20 and 50. From 1895 to 1916, it had its own post office; prior to that, between 1890 and 1892, a post office named Una operated in the town.[2]
In 1902, a gazetteer described Elliott as a post-village.[3]
