Like many Michigan communities, Elmira was founded as a railroad town when the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad came through on its way to Mackinaw City in 1877, establishing a station there known as Eaton. In addition to the GR&I, the Boyne City, Gaylord & Alpena Railroad crossed the GR&I tracks about a mile north of town on an overhead crossing.
The village was platted and recorded as Windsor on September 4, 1880, although it was never incorporated. On September 3, 1877, a post office was established as Elmira, with William S. Hartwell as postmaster, and the railroad station took that name, as well.
