Comment

The Chicken Ranch was an illegal brothel in the U.S. state of Texas that operated from 1905 until 1973. It was located in Fayette County, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of downtown La Grange. The business served as the basis for the 1973 ZZ Top song, "La Grange", and the 1978 Broadway musical, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, as well as its 1982 film adaptation.
