History:  

Iron ore explorations had been carried on extensively throughout the western Mesabi Range by 1904, when large deposits were found at the site of present Keewatin. A settlement grew there and took its name from the Ojibwa Giwedin, meaning "north" or "north wind".

 Keewatin grew slowly in its first years. In 1905 the St. Paul Mine started operations, followed three years later by the Bray Mine. Development increased when the Great Northern Railroad reached the community in 1909. Two more mines, the Mississippi and the Bennett, opened in 1910 and 1912. The Mesabi Chief Mine went into operation in 1927 and became Keewatin's largest mine. By 1940, the Mesabi Chief had shipped over six million five hundred thousand tons of iron ore.

 In 1974, a group of companies jointly invested in the construction of the National Steel Pellet Taconite processing facility, visible north of town from Highway 169. Presently processing tons of taconite annually, the plant has given Keewatin a new lease on life.
