History

Elk Creek got its start circa 1873, following construction of the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad through the territory. It took its name from Elk Creek nearby, which was named for the elk once seen there.

In 2011, interest in deep-mining of deposits of rare earth minerals southwest of Elk Creek was rekindled. Mining the scandium and titanium has been discussed since the 1970s.
