Yewed is an unincorporated community in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma, United States. Yewed is 0.7miles east of Lambert.
Yewed was platted in 1902 and had a station on the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway. The community applied for a Post Office under the name Dewey in honor of Admiral George Dewey. However, since another community - Dewey, Oklahoma - already had that name, the letters were reversed and the name Yewed was assigned to the community.[1] The Post Office operated from December 24, 1898, to April 30, 1952.[2]
As of 1977, the community had an operational grain elevator and a population of two.[3]
