Paramount purchased 2,700 acrees in 1927 for a reported $425,000, Rancho Paramount, as it was known, became the property of Paramount Pictures. In 1943, the ranch was auctioned off to Eiser Wickholm for only $39,500, after Paramount had invested $60,000 in rebuilding the western street sets. Wickhom subdivided the property and sold parcels to investors.
Originally a part of the Rancho Las Virgenes Spanish grant, the property went through the hands of several individuals until "Jigs" Waring sold the land to Paramount. The size of the parcel was between 2,700 and 4,000 acres, depending on the source quoted.
The ranch included the western sets, a colonial New England set, a fortress, and all of the supporting needs of the ranch: barns, stables, craft shops, and commissary.
This marks just a small portion of the original much larger Paramount Ranch.
