The Ellis & Eastern Railroad is based in Ellis, running 14.5 miles to Brandon to the east. In 1995, the two largest commodities carried by trains were non-metallic minerals and chemicals, mostly for factories near Sioux Falls.[2] The community is considered a part of the Sioux Falls metropolitan area.[3]

Ellis was founded on April 27, 1893, and was originally called Scoopville.[1] The present name most likely honors A. B. Ellis, a railroad employee.[4]
