The San Bernardino Ranch, also known as the Slaughter Ranch, is a historic site located in the southern San Bernardino Valley. It is situated near the San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge in the southeastern part of Cochise County, Arizona, United States. This ranch is significant due to its association with the beginning of cattle ranching in southern Arizona and northern Mexico. It was the home of the Old West lawman John Horton Slaughter from the 1880s until his death in 1922.
