Schools and grain elevators were built, the town grew as more people arrived, and prairie sod was turned under to sow crops.

During the 1960s and 1970s, smaller villages in the area (Hughton, Wartime, Forgan, Greenan) began to decline and their populations migrated to Elrose.

The Town of Elrose continues to move forward with the times and new prosperity appears as the local oilpatch is growing significantly.

Elrose belongs to the provincial constituency Rosetown-Elrose, with the elected Member of the Legislative Assembly Jim Reiter who represents this town in Regina.

There is the Elrose Memorial Hall, a 40' x 120' structure built in the 1950s and expanded in 2019, that serves as a venue for a variety of events including dances, plays, weddings and auctions.

The building serves as a base for the sports grounds behind it, which include baseball diamonds, a batting cage, and a number of full service campsites at Elrose Regional Park.

The Gasper Family Park, located on 4th Avenue W, is home to a playground, greenspace, and a world class pump track for bicycles, scooters, rollerblades.
