By the 19th century, it had the largest enslaved population of the Maryland Jesuits, often numbering between 80 and 100 individuals. They produced tobacco, wheat, and other crops that sustained Jesuit missions. In 1838, many enslaved families from St. Inigoes were sold and transported to Louisiana.
