About this property

Kyle Ranch or Kiel Ranch, was one of the earliest non-Indigenous ranches settled in the Las Vegas Valley. Founded by Conrad Kiel in 1875, the location of the former ranch is in the city of North Las Vegas, where the city maintains the remnants of the site as the "Kiel Ranch Historic Park." The original adobe structure, one of the oldest buildings in Las Vegas, a wooden shed known as the "Doll House," and the cemetery are all that remain after loss of buildings through fire and neglect. Also within the park is an artesian well and a small wetlands, a reminder of what drew travelers and early settlers to the area (the spring provided water allowing the ranch to grow fruits and vegetables). The Nevada Department of Conservation designated the ranch with historical marker 224.
