History of Mount Pleasant John Dingwall owned a piece of the land that is now known as Mount Pleasant. He named it after an estate that he also owned. In 1861, the Mount Pleasant Mine started its operation, and along with it came the development of the village of Mount Pleasant. This quiet suburb has since grown to become a residential area with very little economic and commercial activity.
