History:  

HEWITT, a city in sections 15, 16, 21, and 22 of Stowe Prairie Township, platted in April 1891 on land donated by Henry Hewitt and incorporated as a village on February 20, 1899, was named in honor of Hewitt, a nearby farmer. The post office was established in 1880 as Powell in the farmhouse of George Hildreth and was moved to Hewitt in 1891, where Hildreth continued as postmaster; it had a station of the Great Northern Railway.
