West Mineral is a small city located in Cherokee County, Kansas, United States. The city's history is deeply rooted in the region's mining heritage, as it was established during the coal mining boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The area was once part of the extensive coal fields that stretched across southeast Kansas, contributing significantly to the state's industrial development. Today, West Mineral is perhaps best known as the home of Big Brutus, the world's largest electric coal shovel preserved as a museum piece. This massive machine stands as a testament to the area's mining history and serves as a unique cultural landmark that draws visitors interested in industrial heritage.
