The Story of Corwin Hills

Corwin Hills Ranch honors a rich and little-known piece of our state’s history. In the latter part of the 1800s, the ranch was at the center of a town by the name of Corwin. According to research performed by the Spicewood Area Historical Focus Group, Corwin grew to a population of about 200 residents, and was supported by thriving mill and cotton gin. The ranch was the site of a general store, a grange hall, a church, and a stagecoach stop. Other small towns in the immediate area were Clover, Fall Creek, and Double Horn. The Corwin Hills Post Office was established in 1878 and was discontinued in 1899. T.P. Wood served as the first postmaster, and it was his store, located on or very near the ranch, that served as the stagecoach stop, delivering both mail and people. After the turn of the century, the population began to shift, moving toward larger metropolitan areas. In 1948, the community no longer appeared on county maps. It is now remembered as “The Vanished Town of Corwin, Texas”.

Now, almost 150 years later, Corwin Hills Ranch is owned by Michelle Bassett; and the stables are owned and operated by Katie Quinlan, of Quinlan Horse and Rider. These two phenomenal women have partnered to give you a safe, beautiful home for your horse. Their goal is to create a peaceful community where friends can meet and explore the gorgeous hill country trails together.
