Elizabeth started out as Webber Sawmill. As the Denver & New Orleans Railroad came into the area, the town boomed. Elizabeth was named for Elizabeth Ray Kimbark Hubbard, who was the sister-in-law of Governor John Evans. It is said she was on the first train of the Denver New Orleans Railroad to reach Elizabeth in 1880. The plat was filed on June 19, 1882, but the incorporation did not take place until 1890 when the population made it to 200 residents.
