History

The Diamond Bar ranch was once the largest ranch in the entire country in the 1880’s with 1.4 million acres at its highest point and incasing most of the ranches in Kingman AZ. However, the dark history of the ranch is that it founded and formed by “Tap” Duncan a known associate of the “Hole in the Wall Gang”.  Tap was a pillar in the Kingman community and people often overlooked his colorful past.
