The first known owner of Maran estate was Mungo Campbell[5], who owned it up until his death in 1793, then Maran estate was sold to Thomas Duncan Esquire, who came from Edinburgh.[6][7] Duncan owned both Maran and Gouyave estates jointly. Thomas Duncan owned the land between 1817 and 1832, and was given £1.08 million (in today's value) for his 332 slaves at Gouyave and Maran estates.[8][9] The plantation contained dwellings, a sugar mill and stables.[10]
There is a playing field in Maran and nearby is the Mount Edgecombe boutique hotel.[11] Maran river flows through the village.
