Ingleside Plantation

Ingleside Plantation was established by Joel Clifton Blake (1831-1863). It was located in the extreme northeast portion of Leon County, Florida. "Ingleside was bounded on the east by the shores of Lake Miccosukee and would have been bound on the west by Blake's mother's Blakely Plantation. Today, the land is County Road 59 (Veterans Memorial Drive). Ingleside's northern boundary would now be Cypress Landing Road and to the south it would have bounded by the streets of Leland Circle and Indigo Lane."^[1]

By 1860, there were 116 slaves working on the planation which consisted of 2,620 acres. Cotton was the main crop.^[2]
