HISTORY:
Jaraschinas Ranch was founded in 1880 on the north part of Porciones 73,74 and 75 by Tomas Salinas Sr. (1820-1899) of Camargo and his wife Manuela Perez. Originally, it was an Old Salt Trail camp around a natural pothole; ruts are still visible. The ranchers raised sheep and goats, produced cotton, grain and vegetables by dryland farming, and hauled mesquite wood to Sam Fordyce woodyard for the steamboats. Later Brahma Cross , Santa Gertrudis and Indu Brasil cattle were added. 700 cleared acres have reverted to brushland, which was leased for hunting until 1980, and is now retained for family use. Tomas Salinas established the cemetery about 1885 at the death of his son Pedro;Tomas is buried in Rio Grande City. Cemetery is maintained by family.
