History


Eminence was founded in 1887.[2]

A post office was opened in Eminence in June 1887, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1942.[3]



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.
