Later it was named Port Elizabeth or Elizabethtown. This re-naming was in honor of the wife of William Rattle. Rattle represented Leonard Case, a large landowner of the area. In 1856, the town was again renamed. This time it was called Caseville after Mr. Case who sold about 20,000 acres of area land to a Francis Crawford.
