History of Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant has a simple but interesting history. In the early days, people needed ways to send and receive mail. To help with this, a special building called a post office was opened in Mount Pleasant in 1824. This was a very important place for the community.
The post office served the people of Mount Pleasant for many years. However, it eventually closed down in 1862. The name "Mount Pleasant" itself probably comes from how the area looked. It was likely a nice, "pleasant" place, possibly on a "mount" or a small hill.
