Elkhorn is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Monterey County, California, United States.[6][7]
Elkhorn was originally a stop on the Southern Pacific Railroad 4 miles (6 km) north of Castroville, at an elevation of 10 feet (3.0 m).[4] The settled part of the community now occupies the hills to the east of the railroad. The population of the Elkhorn CDP was 1,588 at the 2020 census.[5] Local understandings of the extent of Elkhorn may vary from the Census definition.
Elkhorn was named after the elk in the area that have since gone extinct.[citation needed]
