As its name suggests, DC Ranch began as a working cattle ranch. The ranch earmark and brand were first established in 1885. In the early 1900s the chances for success and good health enticed a self-starting man named E.O. Brown to leave Wisconsin for the tiny agricultural town of Scottsdale. Over the years hard work and a belief in its rewards helped the land and the ranch prosper. In the late 1950s the DC Ranch saw its last cattle drive, but the same hard-working community spirit lives on.

Today, the ranch encompasses nearly 8,281 acres and 2,600 acres of developed or developable land. Nestled on approximately 1,580-3,840 feet in elevation, the community offers spectacular views of the McDowell Mountains, Pinnacle Peak and the city below. DC Ranch is synonymous with luxury and high quality architecture. Ancient petro glyphs as well as old gold mines and cowboy trails help to create a strong sense of the past in a modern environment. As a reflection of this heritage, DC Ranch features the use of split rail and natural rock fences, as well as other thematic landscaping.
