The area was practically undeveloped and large alligators, snakes and other wild animals inhabited the land. Although the City of Plantation was not even a conception yet, the area was nicknamed Plantation because many large tracts of land were purchased by city dwellers, who called them "plantations".

The original selling point was to entice people to buy "long acres", which were one-acre lots with 2/3 of the land dedicated to gardens and fruit trees. The plan was to create a co-op farmer's market" where residents could pool their produce and sell it for a profit. The property was selling for $200 an acre in the mid-40s with the First Home being built on East Acre Drive.
