Pewamo is a village in Lyons Township, Ionia County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The village was settled in 1834 as a station along the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway. The former line now is part of the Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee Trail.
The village name was suggested by J.C. Blanchard in honor of Chief Pewamo, with whom he had hunted along the nearby Grand River.
The population was 469 at the 2010 census.
Mr. Dodd Takes the Air, a 1937 Warner Brothers American musical comedy film directed by Alfred E. Green, begins at the Pewamo Strawberry Festival, the home town of the main character. Composer Harry Warren and lyricist Al Dubin were nominated at the 10th Academy Awards in the category of Best Song for "Remember Me".
