Elberta is located in Southern Baldwin County. US Route 98 (State Street) passes through the center of the town leading west 5 miles to Foley, AL and east 10 miles to Lillian, AL, at the Florida border. Elberta was founded in the early 20th Century by a Chicago based land company. The Baldwin County Colonization Company was organized in 1903, and the first settlers arrived in 1904. The community was founded by farmers who had immigrated from Germany to the Midwest of America. The land company advertised the area as having rich soil and a climate that allowed year-round farming. The Town was incorporated by vote on December 9, 1952. (Wikipedia)
