- See more of this project at: https://chambersarchitects.com/new-historical-home-design/jack-county-ranch/
This ranch property in Jack County is in the Jacksboro/Lake Bridgeport area, on a precipice with a fall of 150 ft. affording a view of the stunning Trinity River Valley. When you open the front door of the home, the view through the back stretches for 20 miles. The design takes full advantage of this arresting panorama and affords a 360-degree area of activity for family, friends, and guests while still providing separation of living and entertainment pursuits. The ranch property has been in the Henderson family since 1890 and was originally 30,000 acres and used to raise cattle.
Jack County was a borderland between the Caddo Indians to the east and the Comanche Indians to the west in the early part of this area's history. The first Europeans to visit the area may have been Spaniards under Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in the sixteenth century, but they created no permanent settlements. Jack County was included in the Texan Emigration and Land Company, more commonly known as the Peters Colony. Settlers began arriving in the future county by 1855, and by 1856 the first settlement, Keechi, was established. Early settlers entering Jack County came mainly from the middle South states, primarily Alabama, North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kentucky, many by way of Smith County or other parts of Texas.
