Its name comes from "ea-land", land near the water. Elland was famous for its durable flagstones which, thanks to the nearby canal, could be transported very economically all over the county. Elland is also the home of the "Gannex" raincoat and of a particular type of boiled sweet. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
