[quote=Anonymous]"In 1889, the local Christian Assembly created an institution of higher learning called the “Graham Normal College”. The founders of Elon College named the school “Elon”, because they understood that to be the Hebrew word for oak, and the area contained many oak trees.[5] The town was called "Elon College" until the college known as Elon College became Elon University. The town then changed its name officially to Elon."[/quote]
