The area that is now the City of Pleasant Hill grew from farmland into a bedroom community during World War II. Residents voted to incorporate in 1961.
Early on, community leaders expressed concerns about the deteriorated condition of many properties developed decades before around the intersection of Contra Costa Boulevard and Monument Boulevard, two main roadways through the community.
At the same time, it was envisioned that this central area could be transformed into a focal point of community identity, providing a gathering place for residents and strengthening the community’s sense of place.
Pleasant Hill grew from farmland into a bedroom community.....the Grand Opening of the Pleasant Hill Downtown was celebrated on the 4th of July 2000, with a citizen parade, fireworks, congratulatory speeches and general euphoria.
