Erskine at various times was known by other names: Erskineville, Erskine Springs, and Millra.[4] An Erskineville post office was established here in 1882; Abiel Erskine was the first postmaster.[4] The Columbia Southern Railway called the place Erskineville in 1900 when it built its line through this community, but the Union Pacific later shortened that to Erskine.[4] The Erskineville post office closed in 1907.[4] Erskine is the name that appears on maps in the 21st century.[2]
