About Pleasantville

Pleasantville is a quiet Fairfield County village that has held onto its small-town character since it was founded back in 1828. Located in the farmland northeast of Lancaster, it took its name from Pleasant Township and nearby Pleasant Run. State Route 188 runs right along Main Street following the old stagecoach road, giving the center of town a simple, walkable layout surrounded by open country and scenic views.

Today, the village offers a peaceful, close-knit setting for newcomers looking for a slower pace of life within easy reach of Lancaster and central Ohio. Local students attend the Fairfield Union school district, and neighborhood routines revolve around classic small-town staples like the community pool during the summer, the village post office, and long-running local businesses like George's Garage. It is an easygoing spot for anyone who values quiet neighborhood living and a friendly community feel.
