PLEASANT VALLEY

 

PLEASANT VALLEY is twelve miles east of Hamilton. Pleasant Valley "was a school established in 1876, and named by Daniel Babb, a Baptist preacher and an uncle of Mrs. Broce Oglesby, who attended school there when she was seven years old. It probably got its name from the view." 

William Benton "Squire" McAnelly came to Hamilton County in December, 1873. He acquired extensive holdings on some of the best land on the Leon River. Squire McAnelly was a county commissioner from 1884 until 1886 and was Justice of the Peace for many years.
