Texas Land and Development Company
Founded in 1912 by Dr. Frederick Stark Pearson and Milton Day Henderson, the land development operation was centered in Plainview, Hale County, Texas. The company also included subsidiaries and holding companies (Texas Prairie Land Ltd. and Staked Plains Trust). After four decades of selling land to farmers and ranchers and city developers, the Texas Land and Development Company ceased operations in 1956.
