History
Ely had its start in the late 1850s when the railroad was extended to that point. The community was named for Dr. Ezra Stiles Ely, a reverend from Pennsylvania. A post office called Ely Station was established in 1874, the name was changed to Ely in 1883, and the post office closed in 1937.
