editIs this article about a particular establishment, or is it saying that "ranch" is a general term derived from a particular establishment? I wasn't quite sure. -Vardion 01:26, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Ranch is an American Term for a brothel, does it really need it's own page?
Possibly it cound be added as a section in brothel?

Origin
editThe article states that the term Ranch was coined in connection with the Great Depression, in the 1920s. I came around a newspaper clipping from 1883, showing that Ranche was a common term in Pennsylvania, although set in quotation marks. --Eveready Norton (talk) 12:19, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
