Plantations developed in the Southern colonies of the US because of cheap labor. Following the invention of the cotton gin in 1793, millions of acres had been turned to cotton production. Cotton was the chief money making product and using slavery, cotton could be produced for nearly no labor costs, ensuring massive economic gains for plantation owners.
The Middle Colonies had farms but not plantations. Southern Colonies had plantations and farms. (The plantations were bigger than the farms.)
The economy of the southern states(not colonies) was dependent on large plantations due to the production of cotton, the souths cash crop during the 1800's.
