Constitution Hill holds historical significance as a former estate owned by notable figures such as Governor Peter von Scholten. Peter von Scholten, who served as the Governor-General of the Danish West Indies from 1827 to 1848, also had connections to the Constitution Hill plantation. He is famously remembered for his role in the emancipation of enslaved individuals in the Danish West Indies on July 3, 1848, an historic event that took place during his tenure as governor. The plantation operated as a sugar estate, reflecting the predominant agricultural industry of the Caribbean during that era.
