User:Sborsody/K-Arrow Ranch
K-Arrow Ranch (Cloudman's Station) is a historic ranch in California. Daniel Cloudman, a forty-niner, homesteaded the property after poor luck in the gold fields. A post office "Cloudman's Station" was established at the ranch in 1872. John Curtin Sr., who later became a California state senator, acquired the ranch in 1879. The Ellinwood family purchased the ranch from the Curtins and today it is owned by the Kistler family.
The property has been a setting The Big Land staring Alan Ladd.
A children's camp operated on the ranch from 1974 to 1994.
