Elzas was first settled in 1886 by Ethnic Germans, a majority of whom came from Elsaß (now Shcherbanka, Ukraine). Many of these pioneers now constitute a large portion of the population in the nearby Hague. The first elections in Elzas Township took place in 1912 under the supervision of Peter Shier.
