"Experience Prosperity" Prosperity, South Carolina, our name says it all.  Located in the central part of the state just west of Columbia.  Originally, named Frog Level in 1830 and later changed to Prosperity in 1873. When in Prosperity, you are only 2 hours from the Great Smokey Mountains and a little more than 2 hours from South Carolina’s famous coastline.  Just 10 minutes away, you can find some of the finest fresh water fishing in the country – “Lake Murray”.  This lake boosts 500 miles of shoreline and over 50,000 acres of fishing, boating and water-sports pleasure. Let’s eat.  Prosperity offers a variety of restaurants to please any taste.  German, Greek, country cooking or steak, Prosperity will not let you leave hungry.  Everyone provides our staple beverage – iced tea! Let’s shop.  Prosperity offers small-town retail shopping second to none.  From hardware to personal gifts Prosperity offers something for everyone.  Take a moment to refer to the Town map and the businesses that help make our downtown an exciting place to be. For those who enjoy golf, less than 10 miles away you will find Mid-Carolina Country Club.  This private club offers a superior course, swimming facilities and restaurant.  The course is open to the public during the week and is available with a member on weekends.  The Town of Prosperity is special because its citizens and business owners have evolved into the 21st Century gracefully without losing their intrinsic characteristics which include mutual respect, friendliness, and love for the community.  Prosperity offers the pleasures of a small-town life, just a few minutes from Columbia and Lake Murray. Once you visit, you will find it hard to leave and you will find yourself looking forward to your next visit.  As have many from far and near, you just might make Prosperity your home, and only then will you truly “Experience Prosperity”.
