East Ellsworth
East Ellsworth was created about 1 mile from the already existing village of Ellsworth, Wisconsin. When a railroad was being built near Ellsworth, engineers decided it was pointless to build tracks up the large hill on which Ellsworth is situated. Instead, the railroad depot was built about a mile southeast of town, and the community of East Ellsworth grew up around it. The Isabelle River runs through East Ellsworth.
East Ellsworth still maintains its own zip code (54010) and post office, despite the fact that Ellsworth and East Ellsworth are now one contiguous village.
The area is slowly becoming incorporated into the Twin Cities Metro Area.
