History
Swea City was platted in 1892; it was then called Reynolds. In February 1893, the name was officially changed to Swea City. Swea City was petitioned for incorporation on December 11, 1894 with a population of 161. Several objections were filed with the reasons for objection listed as, “One, the judges of the election administered the oath to themselves swearing in each other; and Two, the words ‘for incorporation’ were written on one ballot while ‘against corporation’ was written on another ballot.” It was implied that the choice needed to be available on a single ballot in order to be valid. Later a second petition was filed this time on April 19, 1895 and the election was held at a schoolhouse. Each ballot had “For incorporation” and “Against incorporation” printed on them. The vote was 34 in favor of incorporation and 1 against, and the city was incorporated.
