Eminence is a ghost town in Finney County, Kansas, United States.
[2] The town's early history was defined by its rivalry with Ravanna for the status of Garfield County seat.
Eminence immediately challenged the results, claiming a construction crew working on Ravanna's new $10,000 courthouse (nicknamed the "Great White Elephant") had illegally cast 60 votes using names of dead men who were not Ravanna residents.
The Kansas Supreme Court agreed, and in 1889 the county seat was transferred to Eminence.
[4] Eminence is the Federal Emergency Management Agency refugee center established to take evacuees from Denver, Colorado as the event of an explosion at a train derailment and the subsequent detonation of a smuggled Russian nuclear weapon which was in the derailment wreckage in the 1999 TV movie Atomic Train at Miller's Bend, Colorado.
