Brewster is a ghost town in southwest Polk County, Florida, United States, ten miles south of Mulberry.
The town had its own schools, movie theater, medical clinic, post office, which was established in 1913 and discontinued in 1961.
[1] The inventor of the digital computer, John Vincent Atanasoff, though born in Hamilton, New York, grew up in Brewster.
Much of Brewster was demolished at the time, but some abandoned buildings remain, including a smokestack which rises prominently in the area as a landmark.
The deed to Brewster was turned over to the state of Florida in partial payment of a judgment against American Cyanamid for environmental damages.
