In 1996, a train containing large amounts of ammonia derailed and around 9,000 people had to be evacuated from the area. This was the biggest evacuation operation in Swedish history.{{cite web|url=https://rib.msb.se/Filer/pdf/7196.pdf |title=Observatörsrapport: Ammoniakolyckan i Kävlinge april 1996|publisher= Räddningsverket|language=sv|accessdate=2022-05-02}}

Near Kävlinge is the site of the Hög passage grave, a Bronze Age barrow covering a Neolithic burial chamber. Hög means mound from the Old Norse word haugr for hill. The finds from the excavations are in the Lund University Historic Museum.{{cite web|url=http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=24286 |title=Hög Passage Grave - Passage Grave in Sweden in Skåne|publisher=The Megalithic Portal|accessdate=2022-05-02}}
