Orchard Pond Plantation was a large forced-labor farm originally growing cotton on 8754 acres, (35+1⁄2 km2) developed and owned in the 19th century by Richard Keith Call, attorney, planter and future Territorial Governor, in what is now northwestern Leon County, Florida, United States. In 1860 he owned 118 slaves to work the 1300 acres of improved land. It was one of two plantations which Call owned in Leon County. His descendants owned these properties into the 20th century.
