Notes
  • 2007 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Fourth Place
  • Significance: The JA Ranch is the oldest, continuously operated ranch in the Texas Panhandle. From its founding in 1876 by Charles Goodnight (1836-1929), the ranch has experienced periods of great expansion and subsequent periods of downsizing. During the late nineteenth century when British investment in American ranches peaked, the JA was one of the most notable examples of European capital investment melding with American frontier knowledge. The JA's founding and growth occurred during the open range era, adapted to the closed range era, and finally emerged into the modern era of the cattle industry. Furthermore, the sustained existence of the ranch is remarkable considering the environmental harshness of the Palo Duro country as annual precipitation rates are low, average annual temperatures are extreme, and available grazing lands are sparse.
