Pawnee's economy was centered on coal mining for most of the 20th century. The coal industry began with the Horse Creek Coal Mine, followed by the Victor Coal Co. and the Peabody Coal Co.. Peabody #10, the world's largest coal mine, was located just east of Pawnee and closed in 1994. The high school building have been destroyed by fires in 1923, 1958 and 1960.
