About Ellinger, Texas

Ellinger is a city in eastern Fayette County, situated where State Highway 71 meets Farm Road 2503. Its beginnings were tied to a railroad spur, with land for the 200-acre townsite provided by John H. Meyer and Henry Fordtran. Cotton first drove local prosperity, while cattle, grain, and pecans later reshaped the economy.

  • Railroad BeginningsA station on the La Grange Tap line connected the developing community with the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway.
  • Name and NamesakeResident Andreas Ondrey proposed honoring Joseph Ehlinger, a San Jacinto veteran whose family settled in the area after his death.
  • Early GrowthA post office opened in 1877, and the population reached 100 the following year.
  • Town in 1900By 1900, Ellinger had two churches, a school, fourteen stores, two gins, two blacksmith shops, four lodges, a public hall, and four saloons.
  • Changing AgricultureAs cotton declined, ranching and the production of grain and pecans became important to the local economy during the 1960s.
