Biographical History
Irrigated farming began in Ward County, Texas, before the turn of the century, utilizing waters of the Pecos, tributary streams and spring systems.
The Briggs were a pioneer Ward County, Texas, family. In 1890, George Sr. and Mattie (husband and wife) moved to Barstow, Texas, from Midland after several successful ventures in California and Colorado. George helped organize Ward County in 1892 and promoted its agricultural prospects. The Briggs' interests have also included mining and oil. The family home is Barstow's oldest building.
