The ranch east of Tonopah dates back to the 1860s. It had many owners until Ed Clifford purchased the property from Mary E. Reveal in June 1883 according to the Nye County deed books. Based on the 1880 U.S. census enumerations and his obituary in 1916, Clifford—who had immigrated from Scotland in 1870--arrived to the silver mining town of Tybo in Nye County around 1876 with his wife, Ester, and two sons, Edward and James, after working in the coal mines of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Wyoming. The Clifford family has operated the Stone Cabin Ranch for over 120 years. With the recent sale of the Irwin Ranch near Duckwater dating back to 1867, the Clifford’s Stone Cabin Ranch may be the oldest, continuously operating family-owned ranch in Nye County.
