SOUTHFORK RANCH

Founded in 1840, Southfork is located in the town of Braddock. It stretches over a hundred thousand acres. While the City of Dallas may appear to be pushing away its history in favour of a world class, sophisticated image, Southfork Ranch carried on as an awesome reminder of the past.

The Name Southfork

The pioneer of the Ranch , Enoch Southworth had choen the ranch land because it was bountiful with water, and to him water meant life. The water came from a stream which divided at one point - hence the name SOUTHFORK.

Owners of Southfork Ranch:

1850 : Enoch Southworth

Enoch realized his dream of a Cattle Empire was about to come true.

1901 : Aarron Southworth

Enoch died in 1901, a few days after making his son Aarron promise that oil would never be drilled on Southfork land. Aarron then inherited the legacy.

1953: Eleanor Southworth Ewing

In 1953 Arron dies and his daughter Ellie, now married to Jock Ewing she took over the legacy of Southfork. Like her father and grandfather before that, she loved that ranch with all her heart, and maintained her fathers wish of keeping it as a working ranch.

1990 : Ellie Southworth Ewing Farlow and Clayton Farlow

In 1984 Miss Ellie remarried a few years after the death of her husband Jock. She decided in 1990 that she wanted Clayton to feel part of the family so signed over 50% to him. This caused outrage by the rest of the Ewing family. But Ellie knew that Clayton loved the land as she had done since a little girl.

1991 : Bobby James Ewing

In late 1990 Miss Ellie decided to leave her beloved Southfork. She loved the ranch but was tired, Southfork had seen much turmoil over the years and Ellie had always put the Ranch and her family first. But now she wanted to spend the rest of her life in peace with her husband Clayton. So she signed Southfork over to her son Bobby. Bobby loved the ranch and Ellie knew that he was the one to carry the legacy over into the 21st Century
