| PETTEWAY, TEXAS. Petteway is located three miles east of Twin Oaks Reservoir on Farm Road 2293 in north central Robertson County. The town developed in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as settlers moved to the prairies. The village was named for Mike Petteway, who operated the general store. By 1900 the community had three churches, two schools, three stores, a cotton gin, and a gristmill. The gin was owned by Stanley Barkowiak. A post office operated from 1887 until the mid 1930s. After
World War II the production of cotton diminished, and the area turned to ranching. Subsequently, Aluminum Company of America purchased much of the land to mine coal. The population remained constant at 150 from 1915 through 1967, and in 1990 it was twenty-five.

| Petteway --In the early 1880’s M. Petteway settled in northeastern Robertson County and opened a general store. Around this store a community grew up. S. Bartokowiak erected the first gin, and soon there were three churches, and a school, which was a small two-story building with only two rooms. The community cemetery is today one of the few in the rural communities that has continued to remain there in the church yard. Many descendants of the early Petteway settlers bury their loved ones in the well-kept cemetery.
In 1900 Petteway was granted the right to have a post office. Until that time all the mail was received from Franklin. Source: Robertson County Rootsweb. |
