2011 Land Report 100: Fasken Family

No. 27 Fasken Family

300,000 acres

David Fasken purchased the C Ranch in Texas in 1912, which marked the beginning of the family’s fondness for land. After finding success in the oil and gas industry, his heirs expanded their holdings. This summer, the family’s Fasken Oil & Ranch Ltd. broke ground on a new corporate headquarters at that very same C Ranch.
