History

Kewanna was named Pleasant Grove in 1845 and was later called Pinhook.

A post office was established at Kewanna in 1847.

In 1871 it was renamed for the Potawatomi chief Kee-waw-nee (or Kee-Wau-Nay), whose name meant Prairie Chicken. He lived in the area from around 1800 until 1837 when the Indians were removed.
