About Granado Mountain
Belgian-born settler Anton Diedrick Dutchover, a Mexican War veteran who worked as a stock herder at Fort Davis, acquired this peak and its land from the State of Texas in 1876. His son-in-law, rancher Trinidad Granado, established a ranch at its base after 1910, giving the mountain the Granado family name. The site reflects the ranching frontier.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Granado Mountain
The 6,076-foot high peak traditionally known as Granado Mountain or La Granada was named for Trinidad Granado (1868-1958), a rancher whose ranch was at the base of the mountain. The original owner was Belgian-born founding settler Anton Diedrick Dutchover who acquired the tract and mountain from the State of Texas in 1876. Dutchover served with Texas troops in the Mexican War and was employed at Fort Davis as a civilian stock herder. Trinidad Granado married Dutchover's third daughter, Dorothea (1872-1943), in 1890 and created the ranch on land he purchased in 1910, six years after Dutchover's death. In 1964, Governor John Connally, through a gubernatorial proclamation, renamed the mountain Barry Scobee Mountain. (2015) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5507018197
