The Historic George Ranch Association was created in 2024 to manage The George Ranch, a 475 acre tract dedicated to student education. Known originally as the George Ranch Historical Park, it was established in 1990 and currently welcomes over 25,000 students annually.
The HGRA is a 501c3 non-profit entity guided by an eight member Board of Directors. An Executive Director reports to the Board, and oversees three staff Directors who manage twenty seven staff.
The George Ranch is a 20,000-acre working ranch located in Fort Bend County, Texas. Founded in 1824, the ranch’s legacy is woven throughout the fabric of our Fort Bend community. School groups and the general public experience the Ranch and explore 100 years of Texas history in an interactive and authentic environment through tours and educational experiences.
The Ranch’s history began when Henry and Nancy Jones, members of Stephen F. Austin’s “Old 300”, received a league of land along the Brazos River in the Mexican territory known as Tejas. Today, the ranch’s fertile soil and natural resources enable the HGRA to continue its mission of education.
The vision of The Historic George Ranch Association is that the lives of every local student and community member are enriched through an educational and immersive exploration of The Ranch.
The mission of The George Ranch is to engage students and community members in a compelling educational experience focused on the history of Texas and conveyed through the legacy of a single pioneer family.
