Etymology
Avonmore was originally called "South Elmore", although the local community found it unsuitable due its similarity to Elmore.[3] 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".[4]
