Ravanna and Eminence were both thriving towns in the 1880’s.  There was fierce rivalry between the two for the permanent location of the Garfield County seat.  During the process, the area was surveyed and found to have less that the 432 square miles required for organization.  As a result, the area was annexed to Finney County in 1893 and Ravanna and Eminence eventually died out.
