As far as I know the name still applies to the area. However, it is also now known as Eliska. The only explanation I can give for the name change is possibly a post office designation. Mount Pleasant was never an incorporated town so perhaps the new name evolved from an estate, ie. plantation name, which was located in the same approximate area. Over the passage of years most of the families who originally lived at Mount Pleasant moved for economic reasons that now there are few people who remember its original name. Charles J. Torrey
