In what is now known as Westland, Michigan (firstly known as Nankin Township), a poor house would open in 1839. The surrounding land around the poorhouse would soon house many other amenities and buildings, such as school houses, a fire department, a mental asylum, a hospital, a sanatorium, and a post office. The post office (and, by extension, the whole complex) would be named "Eloise" in the 1890s after the daughter of Detroit's postmaster General, Eloise Dickerson Davock. (She, herself would die in 1982). The complex was the site of many pioneering medical technology, including early use of x-rays and music therapy. The complex shut down completely in 1984 and what is left is now used for historical tours and a haunted house around Halloween. A sub-par horror movie from 2017 was filmed at the site and bears the name Eloise as well.

There's an inaccuracy in the description of this name (very rare for Behind the Name). Heloise du Paraclet, the wife of Peter Abelard, is not actually canonized, nor does she tend to be called "Saint" Eloise. She was a significant proto-feminist scholar and philospher, but not known for her particular holiness or devotion to God. She may have been devout in her later life, but it's likely she joined the convent to recover her reputation from the three scandals of her marriage to Abelard - they only married after he got her pregnant; he was a controversial philosopher who at one point got excommunicated for heresy, though those charges were later lifted; and then there was the whole castration debacle.
