A post office operated under the name Pleasant Ridge from 1825 to 1918.[2] On April 6, 1865, there was a skirmish between Union forces under the command of Col. John T. Croxton and Confederate forces under the command of Brigadier-General William Wirt Adams near Pleasant Ridge. Croxton was leaving Tuscaloosa, having burned the University of Alabama on April 4.[3] The 6th Kentucky Cavalry Regiment and the 2nd Michigan Volunteer Cavalry Regiment engaged with Adams' forces.[4]
