Fairvue Plantation was built in 1832 for Isaac Franklin (1789–1846).

Franklin retired to be a planter there after a career as a partner in the largest slave-trading firm in the South prior to the Civil War.

After his death, the property was inherited by his widow, Adelicia Acklen.

[4] Much of the plantation property was developed for a gated community of large, luxury suburban mansions.
