History

Pleasanton was founded by Mormons in 1882.[6] The 24th child of Mormon polygamist Jacob Hamblin was born there in 1884.[7] Hamblin died of malarial fever in 1886.[8] Other polygamists, including William Maxwell, made their home in Pleasanton specifically to evade the law.[9]

In 1885 a band of Chiricahua Apache killed a group of U.S. Army soldiers in a triple cross-fire trap near Pleasanton.[10]
