About Community: Pleasanton Texas is located  five miles northeast of Jourdanton in northeast Atascosa County. In 1966 the "Cowboy Homecoming" was begun in Pleasanton. Since many locals claimed the town was the birthplace of the cowboy, they decided to commemorate the tradition officially. The festival, which occurs annually in August, has cook-offs, fiddler contests, and carnivals in tribute to the cattle industry. Other important industries of the area are peanuts and petroleum. Pleasanton ISD serves this community and surrounding area.
