27°13′9″N97°43′37″W / 27.21917°N 97.72694°W / 27.21917; -97.72694Kenedy Ranch, also called La Parra Ranch,[1] is located in Kenedy County, Texas. It was established in 1882 by Mifflin Kenedy, a steamboat operator and rancher.[2] His friend and business partner, Richard King, established the adjoining King Ranch.[1] It began as a cattle ranch, but it has found other sources of revenue, including guided hunting and wind farms, due to the changing economy. The town of Sarita was founded in 1904 on land that had been owned by the Kenedy Farm.
The ranch has been owned by three generations of the Kenedy Family. Since the third generation, Sarita Kenedy East and John G. Kenedy, did not have children, the ranch is now controlled by The John G. and Marie Stella Kenedy Memorial Foundation and the John G. Kenedy Charitable Trust. Sarita Kenedy East bequeathed a portion of the land and the mansion that she inherited to the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI), which now operates the Lebh Shomea House of Prayer.
