Pleasant Grove is a city in Utah County, Utah, known as "Utah's City of Trees," and part of the Provo–Orem metropolitan area.

The 2020 census counted 37,726 residents in the city, in 11,082 households, with a median age of 28.4 years.

Mormon pioneers sent by Brigham Young staked out farms in the area on July 19, 1850, and the settlement was officially incorporated as a town on January 18, 1855.

The city was originally named Battle Creek, after an 1849 clash between Mormon settlers and a small band of Ute Indians, and was later renamed for a grove of cottonwood trees between Battle Creek and Grove Creek.

During the Walker War of the 1850s, residents built a fort with walls two or three feet thick and six feet tall covering sixteen city blocks, and memorial cornerstones still mark its corners.

Henson Walker Jr., a bodyguard to Joseph Smith and a major in the Nauvoo Legion, was the city's first mayor in 1854, and Pleasant Grove High School was inaugurated under his grandson James Henson Walker.

The city slopes off the Mount Timpanogos bench and is marked by a large white hillside letter "G" above the city, while 50-foot Battle Creek Falls lies a short distance south in Battle Creek Canyon.

Pleasant Grove is home to Strawberry Days, first held on June 21, 1922, when 10,000 to 15,000 people attended; it remains Utah's second-oldest community harvest festival, with a parade, carnival, and rodeo.

The city was the defendant in the United States Supreme Court case Pleasant Grove City v. Summum, heard in November 2008, over whether a privately donated Ten Commandments monument on public property required the city to also accept a monument to the Summum religion's "Seven Aphorisms."

The city covers about 9.2 square miles of land at an elevation of 4,623 feet and uses ZIP code 84062.
