Elberta was settled by German immigrants recruited from Chicago. In 1903 the Baldwin County Colonization Company, a group of German businessmen in Chicago, bought about 53,000 acres of cutover land from a lumber company and divided it into 40-acre farm tracts. Like similar ventures at Cullman and Good Hope, the company advertised to German immigrants, and families came south to farm in southern Baldwin County.
The settlement's first hotel opened in 1904, and the first store opened inside the hotel before moving into a building of its own. St. Mark's Lutheran Church was built in 1925 and now stands in the Baldwin County Heritage Museum complex in Elberta. The town's first post office opened in 1928, and the community was named for the Elberta variety of peach. Elberta was incorporated in 1952 and held its first election in February 1953. In 1978 residents started the Elberta German Sausage Festival to raise money for the volunteer fire department. Held on the last weekends of March and October, it celebrates a local sausage developed by Alfred Stucki. Sources Encyclopedia of Alabama: Elberta
