Elmwood is an unincorporated community in Anderson County, located in the U.S. state of Texas.[1] According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 25 in 2000. It is located within the Palestine, Texas micropolitan area.

History

Elmwood was first settled in the 1850's. It was then named for the elm trees in the area in 1881. The community was recognized by the Anderson County Herald for having a society that was literary and debating and meeting every two weeks. It applied for a post office that year, but it was unsuccessful. There were two stores and a barbershop operating in Elmwood in the 1920s. It had only one business and ten inhabitants in 1933. The community's farms produced mostly cotton, poultry, and dairy products. It had 20 residents from 1952 to 1987, and had a church in 1985. The population was 25 in 2000.[2]

Geography
