| Yewed was never an incorporated town, nor has it ever been recognized for any specific activity. The town has become noted for the spelling of its name. Shortly after the victory of Admiral Dewey at Manila Bay in 1898, an application was made for a rural post office, and the name Dewey was suggested. The application was approved, but since there was another post office with the name of Dewey, the Post Office Department reversed the spelling. The rural post office of Yewed and the town of Yewed came into existence. Submitted by: Steven McGinty |
