Nittaw began as a stop along the Okeechobee extension of the Florida East Coast Railway. The name is an Indian word for "Day" or "Night", depending on which translation you prefer. Nittaw became a sawmill town, maintaining a small population. Its post office ran from 1934 to 1937, accepting the mail for nearby Illahaw from 1935 as well. The abandonment of the Okeechobee rail line spelled the end for Nittaw, and many of the other small stops along the way.
