Kincaid Ranch and Hotel

William Davis Kincaid, founder of the Kincaid Ranch, learned the cattle business as a young man in West Texas. In 1905 Kincaid brought his family to land he purchased southeast of Uvalde, in Uvalde and Zavala Counties. Before his death in 1914, Kincaid served as President of the Unvalde National Bank and the Uvalde School Board. In 1927, his wife and children built the Kincaid Hotel at the intersection of North and Getty Streets in Uvalde in his honor. During the area's ranching heyday, the hotel served as the business hub and social center of the Uvalde area, and ranchers from Texas and surrounding states often made "The Kincaid" their area headquarters.
