About Pleasanton (Texas)
Pleasanton in Texas was going to be spelled as "Pleasonton" after the military general, but, likePleasantonin California, it was misspelled, and the spelling has not been changed since. Although the town has far fewer people than the other major city with the same name, its population has grown significantly since 2000: a 2016 estimate put the population at more than 10,000. Pleasanton was established in 1858 when conflicts with the Indians caused the settlers to move the location of the county seat from Amphion. The settlers chose the current town site because of its location at the mouth of Bonita Creek. John Bowen (died 1867), San Antonio's first Anglo-American postmaster, founded and named the town of Pleasanton after his good friend and fellow early Texas Settler John Pleasants. At on
