Administrative History
Pleasant Grove, Utah was founded September 13, 1850 by Mormon settlers. These settlers eventually named their settlement Pleasant Grove because of a group of trees they found there when they arrived. Originally, the settlement was called Battlecreek because of a conflict between the settlers and the Native Americans who had already been living there. In its early days, the main source of income came from farming sugar beets or working at the Lehi Roller Mills. The main industry of Pleasant Grove was farming. As Pleasant Grove continued to grow, many Scandinavian immigrants joined the population. By 1890, one-third of the population was Scandinavian. The main religion of Pleasant Grove is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The population as of 2008 was 33,798.
