South Prairie Summary

History

South Prairie is a small unincorporated community located in Pierce County, Washington. It is situated in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, approximately 25 miles east of Tacoma. The area was first settled in the late 1800s by homesteaders who were drawn to the area by its abundant natural resources. The town was officially established in 1891 and was named after the nearby South Prairie Creek.
The early settlers of South Prairie were primarily farmers and loggers. The area was known for its rich soil and abundant timber, which made it an ideal place for farming and logging. The town also had a thriving dairy industry, with several local dairies producing milk, butter, and cheese.
In the early 1900s, the town began to grow and develop. The first school was built in 1906, and the first post office opened in 1907. The town also had a general store, a blacksmith shop, and a hotel.
In the 1920s, the town began to decline as the timber industry moved away and the dairy industry declined. The Great Depression further exacerbated the town’s economic woes, and by the 1940s, the population had dwindled to just a few hundred people.
In the 1950s, the town began to experience a resurgence. The timber industry returned, and the town’s population began to grow again. The town also began to attract new businesses, including a sawmill, a lumber mill, and a feed store.
Today, South Prairie is a small, rural community with a population of just over 1,000 people. The town is still primarily agricultural, with many of the local farms producing hay, wheat, and other crops. The town also has a few small businesses, including a gas station, a grocery store, and a few restaurants.
