Milam County, Texas - Communities
North Elm

North Elm is near Farm Road 485, 7-miles northwest of Cameron in northwestern Milam County.

The community was named for nearby North Elm Creek. Mose Price, who moved to the area in 1876, organized a Baptist church at North Elm. The North Elm school had 56 students and one teacher in 1903. The school, the church, and a few scattered houses marked the community on county highway maps in the 1940s. The church became inactive in 1941, and no population estimates were available.
