Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina

The town of Mt. Pleasant NC in the eastern part of Cabarrus County had emerged by the 1830s. The North Carolina Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church established a male academy there in 1853. When the school was elevated to college status in 1858, the outlook for the area looked bright, but the college failed to regain its footing after the Civil War. The town retains several mid-19th-century buidings related to its early educational institutions and a fine collection of 19th and early 20th century residences.
