Pleasant View is a small, quiet place located in Jackson County, West Virginia. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's not a city or town with its own official local government. Instead, it's a part of the wider county area.
Discovering Pleasant View
Pleasant View is a small community that offers a glimpse into rural life in West Virginia. It's a place where people live without a formal city government. This means the county government handles services like roads and public safety.
Where is Pleasant View?
Pleasant View sits right along the beautiful Ohio River. This big river forms a natural border for West Virginia. The community is also found along West Virginia Route 2, which is a main road in the area. You can find Pleasant View about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) southwest of a larger town called Ravenswood. Being close to the river means it has pretty views and access to water activities.
A Look Back in Time
Like many small communities, Pleasant View has a bit of history. At one point, it even had its own post office. A post office is a place where people send and receive letters and packages. However, that post office is now closed. This often happens in smaller communities as things change over time and services become more centralized.
