No drama. haters or curse words or you will be banned. Enjoy !!! In February 1893, the town of Reynolds became known as 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, th

e 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.
