Stewart's Story: A Look Back in Time
Stewart has an interesting past. In the late 1880s, the Georgia Pacific Railway built a train line right through the community. This was a big deal because railways helped connect places and move goods.
By 1906, Stewart had grown quite a bit. It had its own post office and a population of 200 people.
Later, in the 1950s, something special was found near Stewart: a lot of iron ore! This ore was dug up and sent by train all the way to Birmingham, Alabama. There, it was processed to make iron and steel.
Stewart was officially listed as a census-designated place for the first time in the 2020 census. This means it's now a recognized area for counting people.
