Many of the early citizens of Albany County owned ranches. This list is compiled from many sources. I need your help to make it more complete. If you know of a ranch in Albany County not on the list, please email me! Most of the ranches in Albany County have changed hands many times. Few are still owned by the descendants of early settlers. The ranchers were an important part of county history. Schools were held at the kitchen tables, they were a source of livelihood, employment, recreation in the area. They are a key to the surnames in Albany County. Corrections, additions, and comments are welcome!
