The site was in fact the original townsite, with the Worland post office located on the grounds.

In 1903 a survey established that the Worland site was a promising location for irrigation, and the ranch became the center of construction activities.

Worland built a two-room log house 1903–04 while assembling an eventual total of 800 acres (320 ha).

By 1918 "Dad" Worland and his son Charlie had built the present ranch buildings.
