Description
The History of Pecan Plantation comes to us from several sources. You will find that there are several contradictions in the sources shown below, but overall they tell the same story.
Comanche Indians first used the 4,200 acres of land that is now the Pecan Plantation. Due to the unusual configuration of the Brazos River virtually encircling the peninsula of land, the property has long been a distinctive landmark just south of Granbury, Texas. The property was known as the De Cordova Bend, named for Jacob De Cordova, an early Texas pioneer who explored and surveyed it in the 1850s.
Virtually abandoned for about 50 years following the exodus of the American Indians from the area, the property was finally settled by a communal group of families led to the site by John B. Christensen in the late 1920s. The community was known as Kristenstad, but by 1938 the settlement had failed and was abandoned. In 1949 O.P. Leonard, a prominent Fort Worth businessman, purchased the property and renamed it Leonard Bend. By 1956 the Leonard Bend Pecan Farm had 3,300 acres of orchard on the peninsula.
