History
By Anthony Guillory

Elizabeth was founded in 1906 when the Industrial Lumber Company established a sawmill and built a town around it. The name Elizabeth was chosen as a tribute to the daughter of Sam Parks, one of the men who established the mill.

Check out the link below for pictures of Elizabeth (also others in the state) taken by the Santa Fe Railway Company back in the 1920s. If you can identify any of the buildings or people, please let them know, especially of the unidentified Rural Allen Parish pictures.
