Milton Faver established the ranch in the 1850s and built three adobe forts, called El Cibolo, La Cienega, and La Morita, for defense against the Apache people who refused to leave the land. He raised 200,000 Texas Longhorn cattle.
The ranch has been used by the movie industry since the 1950s. For example, Giant was shot on the ranch in 1956. More recently, it was used as a shooting location for The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada in 2005, followed by There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men in 2007.
The ranch was purchased by John B. Poindexter, the founder and chief executive officer of Houston-based manufacturing firm J.B. Poindexter & Co. Poindexter turned the historic forts into luxury hotel rooms. The grounds are used for big game and bird hunting. It hosted a gathering of members of the International Order of St. Hubertus in 2010.
A wildfire spread across 1,700 acres of the ranch in 1994.
In May 1999. the ranch hosted the wedding of country musicians Charlie Robison and Emily Robison, of The Chicks, formerly Dixie Chicks (In June 2020 personal reasons, public criticism and conscious of racial insensitivity to African Americans removed the word Dixie)
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died at the ranch in 2016. Among his fellow guests at the ranch were members of the International Order of St. Hubertus, a male-only fraternity of hunters and wildlife conservationists.
