THE KING FAMILY |

| The King Ranch in Texas, was founded by Richard King, a riverboat captain. In 1853, he began buying up land in Texas with a friend, Texas Ranger Captain Gideon Lewis. The King family (later joined by the Klebergs through marriage) have held the ranch ever since. By 1925 the ranch covered 1.2 million acres, an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. Novelist Edna Ferber incorporated many of the dramatic events in the King Ranch history into her novel, Giant. |
