Range Wars

Armed cattle ranchers delayed farm settlement
here for six years before a permanent
farm community was organized in 1872.

This kind of conflict occurred in widely scattered
western areas when farm crops displaced
rangeland. Families of early farm pioneers
still occupy holdings here that are well
over a century old, although many of
them finally have shifted from planting
crops to raising cattle after
winning their battle against
early stock herders.
