Die dorpie is by die Xhosas as Xhora bekend. Die dorpie is in die 19e eeu gestig as die administratiewe sentrum vir die Bomvanastamme. Elliotdale is vernoem na sir Henry George Elliot wat in 1877 hoofmagistraat van Temboeland en in 1891 van die hele Transkei geword het.
Die distrik van 767 km2 is bekend vir sy natuurskoon en tabak.
