Plantations of Leon County
- Plantations of Leon County
Leon County, Florida was a true cotton kingdom. During the 1820s through 1850s Leon County attracted planters from Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, North, South Carolina, plus other states and abroad to its fertile soils and long growing season.
For some time and up until the early stages of the Civil War, Leon County was the 5th largest producer of cotton between all counties in Georgia and Florida. "(C. Paisley)".
