It should be pronounced OOL teh wah; the "ool" rhymes with "school". However, the locals often say OO tuh wahl. I grew up around Ooltewah.

Ooltewah is a Native American word. The locals pronounce it based on how it was originally pronounced.

Rubbish! I grew up in Ooltewah, and never heard anyone say "oo-duh-wah." It is pronounced "OOL tuh wah." It allegedly means Owl's Nest, but that is not certain.
