Elgin Township first settled in April 1855, organized May
11, 1858, likewise bears the name of an ancient town and its county
in Scotland. It is also the name of a city in Illinois and of
villages in ten other states. The city of Elgin in sections 27 and
28, first known as West Greenwood, was founded in November 1878,
when the railway branch from Eyota to this place and Plainview was
completed, and incorporated as a village on January 4, 1895. The
first settlers were George and Curtis Bryant, Henry Atherton and
George Farrar, all having come from Vermont in 1855; George Bryant
was the first postmaster when the post office was established in
1857.
