Jewett Car Company

The company was founded in 1893 in Jewett, Ohio, where its first factory was located.

In 1904, the company relocated from Jewett to a 10-acre (40,000 m2) site along South Williams Street in Newark, Ohio, retaining the original name.

Among its customers was the city of San Francisco, California, which purchased several street cars from Jewett.

The company produced more than 2,000 wood-and-steel street cars, shipping them to 26 states and Canada.

The Jewett Car Company went out of business in 1919 when the automobile began replacing mass transit.
