  Sunflower Plantation

King and Anderson Plantation

King and Anderson Plantation was an enormous spread of seventeen thousand acres just northwest of Clarksdale and reputed to be the largest family plantation in Mississippi.   The owners were J.W. King and J.A. Anderson.  It was founded circa 1830-1840 and continued to operate well into the 20th century.  The University of Mississippi Department of Archives has seventeen ledgers dating from 1882 to 1982 detailing operating expenses of the King and Anderson Plantation, and one ledger detailing operations of the Yazoo Delta Mortgage Company .
