Elyria was founded in 1817 by Heman Ely from Massachusetts. Elyria was named partly after himself and his fascination with the Austrian province of Illyria, having been acquired by Napoleon in 1809 during Mr. Ely's visit to Europe As the 1900s arrived, Elyria was a small town of about 8,000. As the years progress Elyria removes many things such as the trolley system and a few downtown businesses. Today, Elyria is a peaceful town that is full of history and new buildings. A new police station was built in addition to a new city hall, leaving the original intact.
