Typical of a large river plantation of the mid-nineteenth century, Cash Point Plantation comprised 1,647 acres on both the Caddo and Bossier sides of the Red River. Beginning in 1839, it was successively owned by several large landowners of the region: Pickett, Gilmer, and Sentell. In 1893, Mattie Sentell came into possession of the 960 acres in Caddo Parish. It remained in the Sentell family until 1967, when portions were sold to the Franks-Duggan interests and the Steve Prator Family. The 100 acre pecan orchard was purchased by Judy and Bill McColgan in 2010.
