Pleasant Hill was an unincorporated community in Saline County, Nebraska, United States.[1] The community was southwest of Crete and lay between Turkey Creek to the north and Spring Creek to the south.[2] From 1871 to 1878 Pleasant Hill was the Saline County seat. Its peak population was 246 in 1900.[3]

History

Pleasant Hill had a post office from 1869 until 1912.[4] It was named from its setting.[5]

Demise

Fires, loss of the county seat to Wilber, and the lack of a railroad led to the town’s decline. After the gristmill burned in 1930, Pleasant Hill faded away.[3]
