James Griffin Boswell (May 13, 1882 - September 11, 1952), was the founder of the J. G. Boswell Company, known today as the world's largest privately owned farm. Primary crops include Pima cotton,[1] alfalfa hay, tomatoes, onions, and wheat, all cultivated on some 135,000 acres (550 km2) mostly in Kings County, California.
Boswell migrated to Pasadena, California as a regional cotton broker from Greene County, Georgia. He established his company in Corcoran, California in 1921. With the help of his brother, William Whittier Boswell, J. G. Boswell began growing and ginning cotton, as well as marketing it.[2]
From 1952 to 1984, the company was headed by J. G.'s nephew and William Boswell's son, James G. Boswell II (1923–2009). He is credited with the company's massive growth during the last half of the twentieth century. In the early 21st century, the J. G. Boswell Company is led by the son of J. G. Boswell II, James W. Boswell.[3] The Boswell family and the Boswell Company have been characterized as "wielding outsized power in the region for nearly a century."[4]
