Recognized as the birthplace of the American ranching industry, Kingsville is
located on purchased land that was once a part of the Ricon De Santa Gertrudis
Spanish Land Grant. Captain Richard E. King developed the land in 1853, and also
established the King
Ranch. This ranch is still in operation today, and visitors are invited to
observe and experience both the history of ranching and of the area through its
visitor center. The city’s natural environment, characterized by shorelines, brush
and arid deserts, has created a diverse habitat for over 450 species of birds.
Bird watching activities are available throughout the city at Dick
Kleberg Park, Texas
A&M University Campus, King Ranch and the Santa
Gertrudis Creek Bird Sanctuary. Visitors can best experience Kingsville’s
diverse history, culture and residents at the Wildlife
& Birding Festival, the Parade
of Lights and the Kingsville
Moon Festival.
