Etymology

Avonmore was originally called "South Elmore", although the local community found it unsuitable due its similarity to Elmore. [2] In 1910 Residents of South Elmore held a meeting to create a new name, Where a farmer suggested the name "Avon". This was agreed upon with the addition of the second syllable of "more". [3]
