A Look Back: Stewart's History

Stewart began in 1875. It was planned out when a railroad line reached this area. The community got its name from D. B. Stewart. He was the person who originally owned the land where the town was built. Interestingly, Stewart had a post office even before the town was officially started, opening in 1874.
