Major Joseph Sykes Hutchinson, Civil War veteran, moved to the upper Arkansas Valley in 1866. He established the oldest family-owned working ranch in the county. It is now the present-day location of the Hutchinson Ranch on Highway 50 between Salida and Poncha Springs. Major Hutchinson married Annabel McPherson in 1868 and they had four sons: John Arthur (Art), Bailey Forbes, Harold Charles, and Joseph Mills.
