Even though it is now a part of Green River, the tiny town of Elgin was founded separately. The only thing that separated the two towns was the river.
When the town of Green River was established as a city, it incorporated Elgin into the city limits. “We still refer to it as Elgin just to give it its own uniqueness.” said Conae Black, Green River City Recorder.
According to Black, the Riverside Park that is located in the Elgin area of Green River has been undergoing some improvements. It has received some new playground equipment and a number of trees have been planted. Members of the community are invited to visit the park and enjoy the improvements.
