Have you ever wondered about the origins of a place name? Mount Pleasant, right here in Brisbane’s north, takes its name from a nearby mountain that rises high into the sky. The mountain was named Mount Pleasant in the late 1800s. The history of Mount Pleasant is closely tied to the people who settled these lands, the traditional owners, the Yuggera people. They had lived here for thousands of years, their lives intertwined with the land.
