As land was cleared for settlement, he gradually moved west and by the late 1870s settled along Beaver Creek near Electra Texas. Dan Waggoner passed away in 1903, and his son, W. T. (Tom) Waggoner continued to expand his ranching interests. Today the ranch consists of approximately 535,000 acres, and is recognized as the largest ranch in Texas under one fence. In 1923, W. T. formed what is known today as the W. T. Waggoner Estate.
