"Experience Prosperity" Prosperity is a quaint family community with about 1100 residents. We are located in southern Newberry County, about 7 miles from the large recreational Lake Murray, which has about a 500-mile shoreline. The Town government has just moved into a newly renovated 100-year old school building. Having the Town Offices and the Police Department located under this roof is truly an asset to the area. Upon completion the building will also house an auditorium and a gymnasium. Prosperity is a Town that is composed of numerous 100- year old homes that have been handed down through generations. Our growing community has several new housing developments. We have a thriving Business District that includes banks, restaurants, antique stores, general home supply stores, and interior design shop, furniture stores, florist shops, hardware & building supply, auto parts, gas stations, fitness club, beauty shops, tractor repair, meat plant and a super grocery store. We have churches of different denominations. Our schools and teachers are of the highest ratings in the state. Our recreation for our youth is known as one of the best. Employment is good for the Prosperity area with a large Georgia-Pacific saw mill and plywood plant, also an International Paper plant. Two of our newest plants are McKechnie Vehicle Components an auto parts plant and Pioneer Frozen Foods plant which produces frozen bread products. Prosperity is the type of Town that when you walk down a street or go into a store you are called by name and are asked about your family. We are a proud community and proud of our heritage. Visitors and newcomers will always find you are welcome here. The Prosperity Business Association hosts an annual event “The Shoppers Walk” the first Saturday in December. Everyone comes for the hospitality shown with refreshments, entertainment, shopping, and drawings for gifts and visits with Santa Clause. The Prosperity Christmas Parade, held the first  Sunday in December, is second to none in the county.  The third weekend in August is reserved for The Prosperity’s Hoppin’ Festival. With so much going on in Prosperity we would love to have you visit or stay and make it your home too.   While you are visiting our website please take time to view all our virtual town.  Larry M.
