History


Pleasanton was founded by Mormons in 1882.[7] The 24th child of Mormon polygamist Jacob Hamblin was born there in 1884.[8] Hamblin died of malarial fever in 1886.[9] Other polygamists, including William Maxwell, made their home in Pleasanton specifically to evade the law.[10]

In 1885 a band of Chiricahua Apache killed a group of U.S. Army soldiers in a triple cross-fire trap near Pleasanton.[11]
