Prins Plantation

Former coconut plantation in Aruba

About

Prins Plantation (Dutch: Plantage Prins), originally a coconut plantation in Aruba, saw its house reconstructed in the 1950s. The decline of palm trees, attributed to disease, led to the cessation of farm production.

In 1911, the Werbata-Jonckheer map identified Prins Plantation as one of 23 mostly small plantations characterized by mixed agriculture, coconut trees and housing. Additionally, a larger plantation was situated inland, north of Oranjestad in San Barbola, birthplace of Virginia Demetricia. The township Savaneta actually originated from a governmental plantation that later transformed into a small village.
