The people of the area were free blacks which married into the Haliwa Saponis creating a distinctive Native American tribe; which now has 4000 surviving members. The majority Haliwa Saponis live in the Halifax county area of NC. In Pleasant Hill the Broady family members tied to Chief Mountain are the only Haliwa Saponis in the Pleasant Hill area. In 1848, Pleasant Hill was a stop on the Petersburg Railroad, and is part of the Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina Micropolitan Statistical Area.
