Babyhead Ranch is the Headquarters of the Candy Mountain Ranches Operations and a beautiful home to our CTLR/TLBAA Registered Longhorns.
Namesake
According to local oral tradition, the name “Babyhead” presumably originated in the 1850s when a small child was reportedly killed by Native Americans and her remains left on the mountain. A creek carried the name Babyhead, as well as a pioneer community founded in the 1870s. A cemetery in the area is the last physical reminder of that community, which once boasted numerous homes, farms, and businesses. The namesake is controversial and the true history of the ghost town is a mystery.
