Definition of a plantation
The Old Plantation by James Battle Avirett, 1901
Today, as was also true in the past, there is a wide range of opinion as to what differentiated a plantation from a farm . Typically, the focus of a farm was subsistence agriculture . In contrast, the primary focus of a plantation was the production of cash crops , with enough staple food crops produced to feed the population of the estate and the livestock.[ 4] A common definition of what constituted a plantation is that it typically had 500 to 1,000 acres (2.0 to 4.0 km2 ) or more of land and produced one or two cash crops for sale.[ 5] Other scholars have attempted to define it by the number of slaves that were owned.[ 6]

Built during the Province of North Carolina period
North Carolina plantation were identified by name, beginning in the 17th century. The names of families or nearby rivers or other features were used. The names assisted the owners and local record keepers in keeping track of specific parcels of land. In the early 1900s, there were 328 plantations identified in North Carolina from extant records.[ 10] [ 8] [ 9]
The Sloop Point plantation in Pender County, built in 1729, is the oldest surviving plantation house and the second oldest house surviving in North Carolina, after the Lane House (built in 1718–1719 and not part of a plantation). Sloop Point was once owned by John Baptista Ashe , who was a delegate to the Continental Congress, U.S. Congressman from North Carolina and Continental Army officer.[ 11] [ 12]
The known plantations during the period of the Province of North Carolina (1712–1776) are listed in the table below.
