No, but adverse possession might. See a lawyer in your community who can obtain all the relevant facts and give you an informed opinion.

Eminent domain relates to the government, often a town or city, that decides to acquire a piece of property. Adverse possession is where you've occupied a property similar to the fashion in which you've described. You'll have to file a lawsuit.
