Built for blacks who worked in Henry Flagler's Palm Beach, Pleasant City was established in 1905 but not incorporated into the city limits until 1912.

Although rich in history, the neighborhood of mostly frame vernacular houses has deteriorated from poor construction and years of neglect. Its street names reflect better times: Beautiful, Contentment, Comfort.
