Our community which is now Mount Pleasant, had its first people set foot on it in 1891. The first settlers were Pete Quilling, Ralph Blair, Ally McChesney, Frank Delamore and Frank Young.
Pete Quilling was the first to plow the land.
In the years 1921 more settlers moved in and by this time there were enough children for a school. The first school was held in Ally McChesney’s house for three months. The building that Mr. McChesney was going to tear down was moved to an acre of land that Sarah McChesney sold for 60 dollars. The sight for the schoolhouse was chosen here because it is the center of Mount Pleasant. The school was named Mount Pleasant District 34.
