About Elba

Tucked along the North Loup River in Howard County, Elba is a quiet, tight-knit village with deep railroad roots and plenty of small-town charm. Named after a nearby river bend shaped like an elbow, the community grew around the Union Pacific line in the 1880s. Today, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle with friendly neighbors, local history on display along main street, and an easygoing country setting that makes it a welcoming place to call home.
