Pleasant Glade, originally Needmore, is a ghost town in Van Zandt County, Texas, United States.

History

Originally known as Needmore, Pleasant Glade began as a farming community, and had a country store named Phalba. A school was built in 1909, replacing an 1890 schoolhouse, and consolidated with the Canton Independent School District in 1950. Two tornados damaged the community—one in 1924, the other in 1927. Most residents moved during World War II, and the town was a ranching community by the 1990s.
