Rankin is an unincorporated community in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, United States.[1][2]
History
The settlement's early success [clarification needed] was lost in 1928 after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway built its rail line along Rush Creek two miles north, and town merchants moved to that location — which became the new town of Reydon — to be next to the tracks.[3]
Notable people
- Bessie S. McColgin (1875-1972), Oklahoma politician and businesswoman[4]
