The ranch is within a canyon of the Strawberry River. It was deemed significant as the oldest surviving homestead—and unusual as a successful one—in this area of Duchesne County, Utah, out of "European/American" settlers. Ownership for the property was filed in 1913, after the area, formerly part of the Uintah Reservation of the Ute tribe, was opened for non-Indian settlers. Charles Simmons did not finalize the patent until 1928 however.[2]
