The ranch was established in 1874 by John Chisum, to serve as headquarters of his wide-ranging cattle operations. It has also been known as Jinglebob Ranch. [2]
Its main house, built in 1902, is deemed non-contributing to the historic character of the ranch, due to modifications in the 1950s. It was originally a three-story red brick mansion.
Another brick house, built in early 1900s in "Hipped Box" style, is contributing.[2]
