Do you know of Horr's Ranch ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Horr's Ranch. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Horr's Ranch.<1>

Our sources for Horr's Ranch (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Horr's Ranch other than they indicate that Horr's Ranch would be found somewhere in Stanislaus County, California.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1851 and closed  in 1895.
