History

The worst flood ever recorded in Elba occurred in 1990, with a river crest of 48 feet. In 1851 a lottery to determine a new name for the town was held. The Seaboard System Railroad discontinued rail service on November 27, 1984. Emerging from a swamp in Bullock County, Alabama County, the approximately 120-mile river joins the Choctawatchee River at Geneva, Alabama About half of the river's length is contained in Coffee County. Elba became the capital of Coffee County in 1851, and the town was moved back from the river a half-mile to the current location.
