Local Tips
Elba is the Coffee County seat on the Pea River — the Elba Flood Control System (a spectacular ring of flood gates and pumps around the town), the Fort Dale historic site, and the surrounding Wiregrass country's peanut farming heritage define this distinctive south Alabama community.
The Fair
Elba is home to the Coffee County Fair, which is a September fair in the Wiregrass country of southeast Alabama, celebrating the peanut, cattle, and Pea River heritage of a county whose county seat of Elba is the "Flood Capital of the World" — a city that has experienced numerous catastrophic floods from the Pea River and has built a remarkable flood protection system in response.
What You'll Find There
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the flat to rolling Wiregrass peanut and cattle country of Coffee County.
