	History of the Elsa, Texas
	Founders, William and Elsie George, purchase the land
	George Family lives in the area, but eventually decides to develop the land (clear it) and prepare it for subdivision.
	The decision to subdivide coincides with the move to build a new railway between Edinburg and Harlingen.
	George lobbies and manages to have the railway built through his property. The value of land increases.
	The sale of land in Elsa begins in March of 1927 -- Elsa is born!
	With the railway, business in Elsa thrives. Elsa experiences a period of fast growth.
	Property was donated and a new school was built for the area.
	The railway serves as a means for segregation. The divide set the Hispanic community in the North and the Anglo community in the South.
	Hispanics endure unfair treatment while living in Elsa. For example, a siren at dusk that would alert the hispanic community that it was time to return back to North Elsa.
	Elsa experienced rapid growth! Why didn't the growth continue?
