Pleasant Hill, Missouri
Population: 5,582
Located in Cass County
In 1828, Pleasant Hill saw the arrival of the first settlers to the area and all of Cass County, then called Van Buren County. Records were filed in 1844 making Pleasant Hill a village with about 40 inhabitants. Old Town existed along No. 7 Highway from the cemetery to Maple Lane. Pleasant Hill has many old buildings now being restored to their original look. One building that hasn't needed restoration is the Pleasant Hill Historical Society's museum. The 1904 stone front was constructed from the three story tower of the Gamble mansion. Mrs. Sallie Gamble, the widow of ex-governor Hamilton R. Gamble, built the mansion in 1866. The store front was built using the stones, arched windows and door of the tower. Several types of properties are available. Many residential properties offer plenty of elbowroom. A typical 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom home on several acres would be about $72,000-$75,000. This is truly city living with country charm! Newer construction homes with several amenities such as central air, swimming pool and fireplaces start at $125,000 and cap off in the $490,000 range. A lovely city park located north of the business district has tennis courts and picnic facilities. For your spring and summer pleasure there is a beautiful golf course and swimming pool. The municipal pool remains a popular recreation spot for young and old alike. Plan a summer evening at the Depot Park, perhaps listening to music from the bandstand. During the Fall Fest and Homecoming Festivities visit pumpkin patches and apple orchards with your family in rural Pleasant Hill. Experience the warmth of Christmases past with us.

No matter the season there is always something to do right here! Pleasant Hill offers a comfortable, traditional type of environment that features individual initiative, privacy, personal safety, and tranquility.
