In 1916, the Pleasant Hills Hotel was opened. During that same year, the Lockhart Shire Council passed a resolution to alter the names of several streets within the village to remove German-sounding names.
Some of the changes included:
- Scheuner Street to Crawford Street
- Eulenstein Street to Mason Street
- Schiller Street to Stewart Street
- Terlich Street to Rand Street
- Lieschke Street to Edgehill Street
- Knobel Esplanade to Bridge Esplanade
