About Pleasant Ridge
Pleasant Ridge is a quiet, welcoming community tucked into the rolling countryside of western Kentucky, right along the border of Daviess and Ohio counties. Originally settled in the late 1700s as a country crossroads, the area has maintained its peaceful rural charm for generations. Today, with a population of around 600 people, it offers wide-open spaces, scenic farmland views, and a friendly, unhurried atmosphere.
Running right through the center of the community, U.S. Route 231 makes daily travel simple for commuters and families.
