Elkhart suffered a devastating fire in 1912. The town became a minor resort in the late 1800s because of mineral waters. Professor Janet Mace Valenza mentions Elkhart in her excellent Taking the Waters in Texas: Springs, Spas, and Fountains of Youth (University of Texas Press, 2000) She states that the springs were about one mile Southeast of Elkhart.
