Hard to imagine a ranch of this size.
The King Ranch covers 825,000 acres of South Texas brush country โ larger than the state of Rhode Island. It has its own zip code, its own breed of cattle that exists nowhere else on earth, its own saddle design used by working cowboys worldwide, and its own law enforcement. It was established in 1853 and is still owned by descendants of the founding family. It is the largest ranch in the continental United States and one of the most complicated land stories in Texas history. ๐๐ค
