Empire Ranch (Ariz.)
Empire Ranch is located east of Tucson. Begun in 1876 by Walter L. Vail, founder of the Empire Land and Cattle Company, it became one of the largest cattle ranches in Arizona. In 1886, Vail formed a partnership with Carrol W. Gates. Soon after Vail and Gates expanded land and cattle operations to California, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Their headquarters were the Empire Ranch and Warner's Ranch in California. Chiricahua Ranches Company purchased the Empire Ranch operations in 1928.
