The Village of Elberta is a quaint little community in Northwest Michigan, located at the western most edge of Benzie County on Lake Michigan. The village located in the east of Gilmore Township, on the south side of Lake Betsie, which is formed by the Betsie River before flowing into Lake Michigan. The village is on M-22 just south of Frankfort. M-168, one of the shortest state highways in Michigan, extends 0.95 miles from a junction with M-22 in downtown Elberta to the former Ann Arbor Railroad ferry docks in Elberta. Elberta was first settled in 1855 and incorporated as South Frankfort in 1894. It was renamed Elberta in 1911 for the local Elberta peach. The village's founder is said to be George M. Cartwright. Elberta is a paradise for fishing and boating enthusiasts with easy access to Lake Michigan. Rich in its heritage, rich with opportunity, and offering a relaxed atmosphere and quality of life.
