History & geography

Geography

In the Texas Land Survey System (TLSS), various heads of families were granted leagues of land, and these leagues were named for those recipients. The Boundaries of Voting Precincts Act labelled Ellinger as being composed of "all parts of the W.O. Burnham league and Lucy Kerr league which lay southeast of Sarrazin's Creek" and "all parts of the Jos. Duty, W.T. Dunlavy, and Jus. Ehlinger lying in Fayette County". Elections within these bounds were to be held in the city center of Ellinger. Of this location, 100 acres were privately owned by John H. Meyer and another 100 by Henry Fordtran. Fordtran was a native of Galveston. According to Frank Lotto's Fayette County: her history and her people, Andreas Ondrey (a Bohemian native) suggested the name to the superintendent of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Ellinger was located on a branch of this railroad, which allowed for its early success as a community. The town is located on a slope. TX 71 forms the southwest border of the town and the river plain ranges from 58.1 m at the water to 87.0 m at this border of the town. The northeast border of Ellinger, situated at East Tobias Road, reaches 97.4 m. Past the border, the river plain continues around two more miles before it begins to rise again. At a ridge northwest of the town, elevation jumps to about 108 m and gains altitude in steps as it increases in distance from the river. To the southeast of the town, elevation remains constant around 98 m save for a small east-west range of hills reaching to 110 m and stretching several miles east of Ellinger.
