Welcome to Pleasant Camp ...

Although we found mention of Pleasant Camp during our research, we really don't have any information about it.<1> We believe that Pleasant Camp had a post office at one time. We have done a cursory search and haven't been able to find any evidence that the community still exists..

We've added Pleasant Camp to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Pleasant Camp, please Contact Us.

Footnotes ...

<1>If we encounter the name of what might be a community, our methodology is to add that name to our Gazetteer. For example, we might find a sentence like "He went south past Pleasant Camp and then turned east". While Pleasant Camp could be some kind of landmark, we think that it's more likely to be a community. We've added Pleasant Camp as a placeholder with the hope that we'll be able to add more information in the future.

Just as a reminder: Our definition of a community is rather broad and includes those places (or areas) where several families lived and had a name which identified that place. For example, you might hear somebody say that they are going over to Mile's to see Pete ... Mile's is just a gas station and a couple of homes at the crossroads. While it might not be on the map, everybody in the area knows it by that name.

Places of interest include buildings at a crossroad, several families clustered in a hollow or maybe the location of a way station. It also includes places like mines, lumber camps, ferry crossings, etc. The community might still exist, is now gone or only existed for just a short period of time.

Also keep in mind that Pleasant Camp could have been on the original document by mistake, misspelled, the original/alternate name of a community that we've listed elsewhere or was placed in the wrong . Sometimes a post office or train station would have a different name than the community where it's located, so two names might be referring to the same community - we're working to straighten it all out.
<2>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 250 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 236, 672 or 778. New phone numbers in the Pleasant Camp area will be assigned with one of these codes: 250, 236, 672 or 778. As a result, placing a call in the Pleasant Camp area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<3>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
