HistoryThe name is most likely a compound of the surname "Ewart" and the suffix -ton, meaning town.[2][2] The town's economy prospered particularly from 1957 when ALCAN established a bauxite plant nearby.[3] The plant was later transferred to WINDALCO and was closed in early 2009 due to a fall in demand for aluminium as a result of the global recession.[4] AmenitiesSchools

RailFrom 1885 to 1947 Ewarton railway station was the terminus of a 14-mile railway branch line from Spanish Town.[11] In 1947 the section of the line from Linstead to Ewarton was deemed unprofitable and closed.[12] See also
