About the Village of Elberta.
Elberta is located on Lake Michigan in the State of Michigan's Benzie County. This city was originally called South Frankfort until 1911, when it was re-named after the Elberta Peach which grew plentifully in the area.

Historically, Elberta was known for hosting ferry service to Wisconsin. Elberta’s Lake Michigan coastline offers rugged beauty as well as pristeen white sandy beaches.

A panoramic view of the Frankfort waterfront and its surrounding hills can be viewed from the Elberta side of Betsie Bay.
