Cal Farley's Boys Ranch operates under dedicated ZIP code 79174 in Potter County, Texas. Founded in 1939 by Cal Farley, a World War I veteran turned semipro baseball player and wrestler, this residential program for at-risk youth has grown into one of America's largest privately funded childcare providers.
