The Town of
Prosper was incorporated in 1914 with a commission form of government and a
population of 500. U.N. Clary was Mayor and served in that position for the
next 49 years.
From the mule drawn wagon and horse drawn
buggy, the automobile evolved. Thus began the evolution of people moving in and
out of the rural community. Surviving the war and the depression, the
mechanization of farming provided the next big impact on Prosper's
population.
In 1980, the introduction of light industry,
combined with the growth of the Metroplex, led to a comeback for Prosper. Today
Prosper is the home to more than 100 businesses and hundreds of new
families.
