About Jewett

Located along historic U.S. 40 in Cumberland County, Jewett is a quiet, tight-knit village of about 200 people. Originally founded in the 1840s as a stagecoach stop called Pleasantville, it grew alongside the railroad and evolved into the peaceful rural community it is today. If you're looking for small-town seclusion with an easy connection to neighboring towns, Jewett offers open skies, plenty of history, and a relaxed pace of life.
