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.
