There are 29 schools in the USA with the word elgin in the name.

The word "Elgin" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it is the name of several towns and cities across the country, such as Elgin, Illinois and Elgin, Texas. These communities were often named during the 19th century, sometimes in honor of Lord Elgin, a British statesman, reflecting the historical influence of European settlers on geographic naming conventions in the United States. As public schools are often named after their local municipalities to foster a sense of community identity, the presence of the name "Elgin" in school names simply mirrors the name of the area they serve. Additionally, naming schools after their towns is a traditional practice that aids in clearly identifying the location and community focus of the educational institution.
