The Sugar cane cultivation began in the 17th century when the area was still called Mount Gilboa and five small sugar cane plantations were established there. In the early 1700's William Sandiford bought most of the land and consolidated it into the Mount Gilboa plantation.
Sandiford's son sold the plantation to John Sober in 1747. Since he and his son Cumberbatch lived in England most of the time, Cumberbatch's friend Sir John Gay Alleyne took over management of the plantation. When Alleyne died in 1801, Cumberbatch wanted to honor Alleyne by renaming the plantation.
