The term plantation refers to the size of the land hold-ings, not the house in which the owner lived.

Between the mouth of the Cape Fear River, at Bald Head Island to just above Wilmington, there have been more than 60 plantations over the years. Until the early 20th century, these plantations were an integral part of southeastern North Carolina’s economy and society. Howe’s Pt. Govenor’s Pt.
