ELMWORTH HISTORY

Many small communities started up throughout the Peace Country, as the settlers homesteaded to make their living. Elmworth was no different, as it was a central area where one would get supplies and the mail. The first post office opened in 1920 with Franklin T. Brewer the first postmaster. It was situated on his own homestead about a quarter mile from Elmworth and included a country store.

In 1927 the Brewers built a new home and store that also included the post office across from the Elmworth school. The Elmworth Community Church and Cememtery was added in 1948. The closest railway was Beaverlodge.

The name of the community "Elmworth", got its name from a settlement in Massachusetts, United States of America. At one time a teacherage was located on the area where the present school is located. At that time there were 3 other houses located at that location that housed the teacher, the principal plus the janitor who also was the bus driver.

Elmworth Community Library is located in the Elmworth School and was created in 1999. Elmworth Library
