Elmo at a glance

Emery County · Utah

Elmo’s county-hosted history describes an agricultural community north of Huntington that was settled in 1908. The town’s name combines the first letters of four founding family names: Erickson, Larsen, Mortensen and Oviatt. That naming story provides a distinctive introduction to this Emery County municipality.

The same county resource supplies town-government information and links for zoning ordinances and forms. County services, including library and recreation resources, are listed separately. Residents can use the town page to identify the appropriate municipal contact, then follow county department information for matters handled outside town government.
