History


Eminence was laid out in July 1855[4] by William Wigal. The name possibly is commendatory; but according to some accounts it is descriptive, as the village site allegedly was the highest point between Indianapolis and Vincennes when State Road 67 was surveyed.[5]

The post office at Eminence has been in operation since 1857.[6]


Education


Eminence is served by the Eminence School Corporation.

Eminence has a public library, a branch of the Morgan County Public Library.[7]


Notable people


Glenn M. Curtis, four-time Indiana state champion basketball coach (Lebanon & Martinsville) and coach at Indiana State and the high school coach of John Wooden.
