Elon, Town in Alamance County, North Carolina, United States.

The residential community of Elon extends across 3.9 square miles of land near Burlington, with tree-lined streets and academic facilities throughout the area.

Mill Point, established in 1881 as a North Carolina Railroad depot for cotton transportation, changed its name to Elon after the establishment of Graham Normal College.

The town maintains strong connections with Elon University, which influences local activities through student organizations, media outlets, and community engagement programs.

Elon operates under the Alamance-Burlington School System and provides public transportation through the Biobus network, connecting residential areas with educational facilities.

The name Elon derives from the Hebrew word for oak, selected due to the numerous oak trees that characterized the landscape during the town's founding period.
