Ellenton, Census-designated place in Manatee County, Florida.
Ellenton spans across 4.5 square miles of land and water territory, positioned along the northern banks of the Manatee River at 3 meters elevation.
Major George Patten named this settlement after his daughter Ellen in 1870, following his purchase of the former Gamble sugar plantation property.
