Santa Martha, also recorded in historical sources as Sta Martha, was a plantation in the Santa Cruz area associated with Jacobus Croes Franszoon (Fz.). Historical records indicate that the plantation was also known as Goed Begin.
The plantation covered approximately 2 bunder (4,000 m²). Although modest in size, it formed part of Aruba's nineteenth-century plantation landscape.
Today, little remains of the plantation itself. Historical notes describe the site as having been excavated and destroyed over time, leaving few visible traces in the landscape.
