Originally settled in 1834, the Village of Pewamo was incorporated in 1859, and proudly celebrated its Sesquicentennial in 2009.   Pewamo prides itself as a family friendly community where you can enjoy small town living with big city access.  Pewamo is surrounded by agriculturally rich lands and wooded lots, but is within easy access to the amenities offered by cities such as
Lansing and Grand Rapids.

Recreation opportunities abound for Pewamo with a nine acre village park, the 18 Hole Huckleberry Creek Golf Course only a short distance north of town and the future development of the Fred Meijer CIS Trail, which will allow Pewamo to enjoy the benefits of becoming a “Trail Town”.
   
As a part of the P-W School District, Pewamo is proud of the educational opportunities they are able to offer.  The Village is home to two elementary schools, one public and one private Catholic school.  St. Joseph Catholic School is a 2nd through 8th grade facility, which is fully accredited. Recently P-W Schools celebrated national recognition when U.S. News & World Report announced top high schools in the nation.  P-W High School was selected as a "Silver Medalist" (in the top 505).  To put this in perspective, P-W was in the top 3% of high schools in the nation.
