Where is North Prosser?

How North Prosser Started
North Prosser began to grow around a train station. The Northern Pacific Railway Company built this station in 1917. People started to live and work near the station, and that's how the community formed. It got its name, "North Prosser," simply because it was located just north of the town of Prosser.
