Peach Point Plantation was originally referred to as Perry's Landing, after its owner, James F. Perry.

The name Peach Point Plantation is sometimes shortened to "Peach Point."

James F. Perry and his wife Emily Austin Perry managed Peach Point Plantation. Stephen Samuel Perry also served in a managerial capacity at Peach Point Plantation.
