Raminea was gazetted as a locality in 1966. The name is believed to be an Aboriginal word for what is now called “Port Espérance”, the bay at the mouth of the Espérance River.[2]
Almost all of the boundaries are ridgelines. The Espérance River flows through from north-west to south-east.[3]
Route A6 (Huon Highway) passes through the south-east corner of the locality.[2][4]
