Up until 1970, it would be hard to call Hewitt a town. With just under 600 residents, the area was made up mostly of cotton farms. But in recent years, people have been flocking there, taking advantage of low crime, good schools, and friendly people. With a current population hovering below 13,000, the town is working hard to attract businesses to gobble up the many large parcels of land available while striving to maintain that small-town feel. -B.N.
