Mount Pleasant is an outer suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. The suburb is located on the northern flank of the mountain in the Port Hills of which it takes its name. The area originally belonged to the borough of Sumner. A petition in 1920 by the majority of its residents asked for it to be included as a riding of the Heathcote County. Whilst the mayor of Sumner, John Barr, submitted against the petition, it was granted and took effect on 1 April 1921.[1] As a result of the 1989 local government reforms, Heathcote County was amalgamated with and became part of Christchurch City Council.
