The earlier plantation house, built in the 1790s, was burned during the Civil War. Listed on the National Historic Register, it is open to the public for tours. The LaBranche Plantation Dependency is actually a garconniere of the now-vanishing LaBranche Plantation. Next along is the former Luke Plantation, now the site of Bar None Ranch Estates. The area itself was earlier known as Frellsen Charlestowne Subdivision in the area of Patterson Plantation, a later split-off from Fairfield Plantation.
Next, the present-day Fairfield Subdivision and Riverbend Business Park are on the old Fairfield Plantation of H. It became the largest of its kind in the world before it became TransMatch in 1970 and closed down in the 1980s. Moving along River Road, the first site of note is the former Delta Match Corp., which opened in 1952 as the first large wooden match manufacturing plant in the South. The plantation itself, named for the patron saint of the Americas, survived until 1904. Rose derived its name from St Rose Plantation, located near the present-day intersection of River Road and Louisiana Highway 626.
