History

St. Elizabeth was originally called Charlestown, and under the latter name was platted in 1875, and named after Charley Holtschneider, the original owner of the town site.[6] A post office called St. Elizabeth has been in operation since 1877.[7] The present name is derived from a local Roman Catholic church of the same name, which in turn most likely was named after Elizabeth of Hungary.[6]

The Boeckman Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[8]

gollark: How much are they *spending* on this?
gollark: A lot of the time it's probably some configuration or weird interaction between services or bizarre local conditions rather than actual code.
gollark: Cloudflare outage.
gollark: I mean, on my site, I can afford to have *minutes* of downtime without anyone really complaining if I want to reconfigure a server, but Cloudflare has to keep everything running at near-maximum capacity or the internet explodes.
