History
This farming community received a post office open on October 23, 1882 with civil engineer Thomas E. Shaw as postmaster. This office was named Shaw for him. Arriving in 1886, Merritt Chandler had platted the community under the name of Onaway. Chandler took over as postmaster with it changing its name to Onaway on March 29, 1890. On August 18, 1893, Shaw took back the postmaster position and changed the office's name to Adalaska. Once again, the post office was renamed back to Onaway on November 15, 1897. Onaway was incorporated as a village in 1899.[5] Onaway soon became a city in 1903.[4] At the beginning of the twentieth century Onaway was home to one of the world's largest wooden bicycle wheel manufacturers, producing approximately 65% of the world's wooden bicycle wheels.
Geography
