I always thought the King Ranch was the biggest. Bigger than Rhode Island. Am I way behind the times?

“I always thought the King Ranch was the biggest. Bigger than Rhode Island. Am I way behind the times?”

The King Ranch may not be contiguous.

I always thought the King Ranch was the biggest.

This is specified as the largest CONTIGUOUS ranch. I believe that the King Ranch operation may be larger in total acreage but is not contiguous.

That’s what I have always thought, too—that the King Ranch was the biggest……..

The King Ranch was over 1 million acres. I staked oil wells for them in the 60’s as a teenager and got to visit and do a little fishing. Fabulous ranch.

They must have broken it up, didn’t know that.
