Originally known as "Yeshoe," this plantation was granted in 1679 to Arthur Middleton, great-granduncle of the signer of the Declaration of Independence. It was called "Otranto" after 1771, when Dr. Alexander Garden, a noted physician and botanist for whom the Gardenia was named, bought it. In recent times, the estate was used as a hunt club.
