Long Description:
Bill Smith, who arrived in 1923 in his Model-T Ford, developed the
haven known as Smith's Ranch. Bill and his brother, Harry, drilled
a well and provided water to early homesteaders, and Bill's shower,
swimming pool, and shade trees were a welcome place to cool off on
hot summer days. Bill married Thelma Mead in 1930, and the
ambitious pioneer couple built an ice house, a dairy, an ice cream
parlor, an outdoor theater, a recreational hall, and a trailer park
on their property. They had six children and were acclaimed as the
first homesteaders to have children born in Twentynine Palms.
