Do you know of New Mount Pleasant ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about New Mount Pleasant. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with New Mount Pleasant.<1>

We found mention of New Mount Pleasant as a post office (see Mentions and References below), but can't determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.

It's common that the post office is named the same as the community in which it's located (although that's not always case). In this case, we can't match this post office to any of the existing communities in our gazetteer.<2>

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1851 and closed in 1870.
