Ranches | JA, Tex. page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 The JA Ranch is the oldest privately owned cattle operation in the Texas Panhandle. Its beginnings can be traced to 1876, when Charles Goodnight drove 1,600 longhorn cattle from Pueblo, Colorado, to the Palo Duro Canyon. Once there, he established a ranch near the Red River in southwestern Armstrong County. English aristocrat John G. Adair furnished the capital Goodnight needed to build the ranch. When Smith photographed there in 1906, Adair's widow, Cornelia, was prominent in European social circles, and the ranch frequently hosted foreign visitors. That summer, Robert Faure, the nephew of the president of France, was visiting.
