Elkton
The village of Elkton was founded in 1886 by W. J. McGillivray, a blacksmith, who built the first house here. He named it to commemorate his killing a huge elk entangled in his wife's clothesline.
Today, this quaint community offers residents and visitors a safe, cozy, small town environment in which to live, work and play.
