History

The community was first settled in the spring of 1874 by James C. Jensen, Jens Iver Jensen, and others. The area was settled by Danish converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and named after Kronborg Castle, known as Elsinore in Hamlet. Helsingør, the city where Kronborg Castle is located, is classically known as Elsinore as well.

The first passenger train arrived on 21 July 1896 from the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad.

Elsinore was home to a Utah-Idaho Sugar Company factory for processing sugar beets into sugar from 1911 to 1929, but was closed due to a sugar beet blight.

On September 29 and October 1, 1921, Elsinore was hit by a series of magnitude six earthquakes. Some buildings were damaged, and residents were frightened from their homes, but no deaths were reported.
