Pleasant Hill Baptist Church
Kentuckytown, Texas

In February 1852 shortly after Dr. Josiah L. Heiston laid out the new town of Kentucky Town, the Baptists organized a church under the name of "The United Baptist Church at Pleasant Hills". Shortly after their minutes reflected the name as "Pleasant Hill Baptist Church". The church carried the name until 1857. Rev. John O. Walker was the first pastor.


Minutes of August 8, 1857
"Letter to be sent to the Association read and approved. The name of this Church by agreement of its members is changed to KENTUCKY TOWN Church...."
