History
New construction of the planned development at Haile Plantation started in the late 1970s.
Naming controversy
The development's namesake is Thomas Evans Haile, a Sea Island Cotton South Carolina planter who developed a plantation here in 1854. Enslaved African-American people lived on and worked the land. The Haile family ancestors include some who served in the American Revolutionary War. The Historic Haile Homestead, known as Kanapaha, still stands. It was featured in the 1979 movie Gal Young 'Un, based on a Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings story.[4][5]
On August 1, 2020, CNN published an opinion piece regarding the controversy of the Haile Planation name. The Haile Plantation West Home Owners Association formed an exploratory committee to evaluate the removal of the word "Plantation" from the name of the community.[6][7][8] On October 26, 2020, the board of the Haile Plantation West Home Owners Association voted to keep the word "Plantation" in the name of the community.[9]
