The Levi Jordan Plantation is a historical site and building, located on Farm to Market Road 521, 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of the city of Brazoria, in the U.S. state of Texas. Founded as a forced-labor farm worked by enslaved Black people, it was one of the largest sugar and cotton producing plantations in Texas during the mid-19th century, as well as a local center of human trafficking.[1]
It was designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1967.[2] The University of Houston's Department of Anthropology and Professor Kenneth L. Brown has done many years of research at this plantation.[3]
