Elon is home to Elon University, which is one of the few universities in the world to have a phoenix as its mascot. This is due to a fire that destroyed a large part of the campus in 1923, after which university trustees planned to make Elon "rise from the ashes."
Elon is a 4.5 square miles town located in Alamance County at the Piedmont area of Central North Carolina. Home of Elon University, this town is also home to the amazing environment friendly public transportation the "Biobus" that run on alternative fuel and are unique to this town. It was said that "Elon" was the Hebrew name for oak; hence, Elon College. Formerly, the town was known as the "Elon College" until the college changed its name to "Elon University," thus the town officially changed its name to "Elon" in 2001.
A town rich in history with a small town atmosphere adds to its charm. But don't be deceived, despite of its small town charm it is also a progressive community with a Downtown area that provides daily services to its residents and can also offer recreational activities with its park. Elon has a relatively smaller area which naturally makes the town safer than other cities. View Elon City Guide
