King Ranch Archives

King Ranch Inc, located in Kingsville, Texas, is renowned as the birthplace of American ranching, encompassing 825,000 acres of land and rich history that dates back to 1853 when Captain Richard King first purchased the property. Over the last 160 years, the ranch has pioneered cattle drives, developed unique cattle breeds like Santa Gertrudis, and produced world-class quarter horses and thoroughbreds, all while maintaining a commitment to quality and stewardship.

Today, King Ranch operates as a major agribusiness involved in various sectors, including cattle ranching, farming, citrus, and turfgrass, as well as luxury retail and recreational hunting. The heritage and integrity established by Captain King continue to thrive through the ranch's dedication to authenticity and environmental responsibility.
