The More Hill Historic District in the East End area of Saint John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[1]
It is a 6 acres (2.4 ha) historic district which included three contributing sites, and is located off East End Road.[1]
It includes remains of More Hill Plantation, which was a cotton plantation, and is located within Virgin Islands National Park.[2] It has also been known as Mt. Pleasant.[2]
The plantation was established sometime between 1780 and 1800.[2]
The site was deemed "significant for its remains of a modest cotton plantation of the late 18th century unaltered and disturbed by later development and different uses."[2]
