History
The history of River Ranch Stockyards is intertwined with that of the legendary Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. As land once a part of the Swift Packing Plant that operated in the Stockyards for over 60 years, it has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind Ranch venue for stylish western events and livestock activities.
River Ranch Stockyards was established in 1991 by Fort Worth natives Philip & Steve Murrin. Multiple generations of their family have called the Stockyards home.
The Fort Worth Stockyards is a testament to the enduring legacy of the American West and a tribute to the hardworking cowboys and cattle ranchers who helped build the nation. Established in 1866 as a hub for cattle drives, the Stockyards quickly became one of the largest and most important livestock markets in the country.
