==History== {{More citations needed section|date=June 2024}} [[File:Wheeling and Lake Erie yards Brewster Ohio 1910.JPG|thumb|left|[[Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (1916-1988)|Wheeling and Lake Erie]] yards, 1910]] A post office called Brewster has been in operation since 1910.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=OH&county=Stark | title=Stark County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=June 20, 2017}}</ref> Brewster is the location of the corporate headquarters and shops of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway, both the [[Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (1916-1988)|historic company]] and the [[Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (1990)|current regional railroad]]. The WLE began producing locomotives at its Brewster shops in 1910, and boasted one of the finest [[steam locomotive]] producing facilities in the country. Over the years, the WLE built and rolled boilers and erected fifty of their own steam engines, a feat never tried by many larger and more famous railroads. The Wheeling and Lake Erie Brewster Shops continue to perform contract repairs, upgrades and fabrication of locomotives and [[freight car]]s to this day.
