Barbara Belding Gibson - Part of the fourth generation of a pioneer ranching family in the great open spaces known then as Palo Pinto County and the Possum Kingdom. My great grandfather settled here in 1859 and, with lots of blood, sweat and tears, built a ranch from which has been carved The Cliffs, Sportsman’s World and Gaines Bend Development as well as two separate family ranches. Cy and I moved here in 1965, just as Frank Belding, my father, was beginning to develop Gaines Bend from raw ranch land, so we have been a part of Gaines Bend from its conception. Now we are mostly retired and are watching Shawn, our son, and Peggy, our daughter-in-law, take the development to its next level with Rawhide Vistas and beyond.
