Ellwood Estates
Biographical notes:
Formed in 1910 after the death of Isaac L. Ellwood (1833-1910), co-inventor and manufacturer of barbed wire, who purchased the Spade Ranch (located in Lubbock, Hale, Hockley, and Lamb Counties, Texas) in 1891 and the Renderbrook Ranch, located in Mitchell County, Texas, in 1889. The Ellwood Estates were formed from these ranch properties and were administered by Ellwood's sons, William L. (1859-1933) and Erwin P. (1874-?), and A.W. Fisk. Beginning in 1924, the Ellwoods sold portions of the Spade Ranch for farming and colonization.
