Rankin is an unincorporated community in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, United States.[1]
The settlement's early success 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.[2]
