Pleasant Grove is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Kansas, United States. It is located four miles south of Lawrence.
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, it is believed that the first organized Douglas County German Baptist group met in Pleasant Grove in 1858, in the house of Stephen Studebaker. Several years later, during Quantrill's Raid, William Quantrill and his men came close to Pleasant Grove after pillaging Lawrence. However, because many of the raiders were drunk and loud, the townsfolk were alerted to the raiders' presence. Nevertheless, Quantrill and his men razed a number of houses and barns in the area, looking for anti-slavery settlers of interest.
