Mount Pleasant is a city in the U.S. state of Utah. Located in Sanpete County, Mt. Pleasant is known for its 19th-century main street buildings, for being house to Wasatch Academy, and for swine the largest city in the northern half of the county. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 3,260.

In the spring of 1852, a band of Latter-Day Saint colonists from Manti led by Madison D. Hambleton received the Hambleton Settlement near the gift site of Mt. Pleasant. During the Wakara’s War, the small group of settlers relocated to Spring Town (Spring City) and well along to Manti for protection. The old agreement was burned the length of by local Native Americans, so when a large colonizing party from Ephraim and Manti returned to the area in 1859, a new, permanent townsite was laid out in its gift location, one hundred miles south of Salt Lake City and twenty-two miles northeast of Manti.

Among the founding settlers were Latter-Day Saint converts from Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, and the eastern United States. By 1880, Mt. Pleasant was the county’s largest city, with a population of 2,000, and beyond 72 percent of its married adults were foreign-born. This ethnic diversity had an important impact on village cartoon during the nineteenth and to the lead twentieth centuries. For decades, five languages were commonly spoken in town.

The concurrence and proceed of Mt. Pleasant followed the typical pattern for Latter-Day Saint towns of the period. A square-shaped townsite was surveyed (eventually containing just about 100 city blocks), lots were drawn, and the home was distributed accompanied by the population. Under the government of James Russell Ivie (1802–1866), a fort of adobe walls and log cabins was built. Pleasant Creek ran through the fort and cultivation was done outdoor of its walls. Around the times that Ivie was killed in the Ute Black Hawk War, by Indians who had declined to participate in the pact of the earlier Wakara War, the town had acquired its gift name. By the get older the unquestionable peace agreement with the Indians was signed in Bishop Seeley’s house on Main Street in 1872, bringing to an fade away this conflict, many settlers had already erected homesteads external of the fort. Although the town site is large in scale, the density is relatively low due to the indigenous layout allowing for only four lots per block.
