Point Pleasant was once a small village in Warren County, Indiana. Today, it no longer exists and is considered a ghost town. It was located about one and a half miles southwest of Rainsville. This area is near where Big Pine Creek and Mud Pine Creek meet, a spot now called Rocky Ford.
Point Pleasant was planned by a person named John H. Bartlett. He officially mapped out the town on July 14, 1830. However, the village never really grew. It only had Bartlett's home, a store, and possibly a saw mill. An old book from 1883 about the county mentioned Point Pleasant. It said that the town was "a paper town only," meaning it mostly existed on maps and not much in real life.
