Elwood History
Elwood was an early transportation hub for the Encampment district. Not many details are available for this short-lived town. Elwood had a post office from 1900 to 1904. This town was likely busy with ore wagons traveling between the copper mines of the district and the town of Encampment. I can speculate that once the Southern Wyoming Tramway was completed in 1902, freight traffic through Elwood was significantly diminished and the town died out.
