==Industry== {{Unreferenced section|date=April 2010}} Kewanee was once known for its [[fire-tube boiler]] industry. The Kewanee Boiler Corporation manufactured and sold boilers throughout the world for over one hundred years. The company shuttered in 2002, however, boilers manufactured in Kewanee are still in common use. The Kewanee High School athletic teams are nicknamed the "[[Boilermaker]]s". In 2023, the boiler shop burned down and now has a sign that says "Kewanee Boiler Workers Memorial, dedicated to over 130 years of boiler-making." Kewanee was home to [[minor league baseball]]. The [[Kewanee Boilermakers]] minor league baseball team played in the [[Central Association]] from 1908 to 1913. In 1948β1949, the [[Kewanee A's]] rejoined the Central Association. Kewanee was an affiliate of the [[Philadelphia Athletics]] (1948β1949). Kewanee minor league teams played at Terminal Park (1908β1913) and Northeast Park (1948β1949).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi|title=Kewanee, Illinois Encyclopedia|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.statscrew.com/venues/v-1324|title=Northeast Park in Kewanee, IL history and teams on StatsCrew.com|website=www.statscrew.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kernan |first=Sean |date=17 March 2023 |title=Kewanee's Baseball History with the Kewanee Historical Society |url=https://regionaldailynews.com/local-news/376101 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180816124742/https://regionaldailynews.com/local-news/376101 |archive-date=16 August 2018 |access-date=17 March 2023 |website=Regional Daily News}}</ref> [[File:Kewanee Boiler.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Kewanee Boiler]]
