About the Taylor-Stevenson Ranch: The Taylor-Stevenson Ranch is a historic, 640-acre working ranch situated near Reliant Stadium on Almeda Road in Houston, Texas. This ranch has been recognized in the Congressional Record as a "Texas Century Ranch," denoting that it has remained under the ownership of the same family for over a century.

In 1921, an oil well was drilled on the ranch's property by Hugh Roy Cullen. This well was part of what became known as the Pierce Junction oil field. The drilling of the Pierce Junction field led to the development of an innovative new drill bit by famed industrialist Howard Hughes' company, the Hughes Tool Company, designed to more effectively penetrate rock formations.
