City History

The City of Prescott was first settled around 1840, though it took 11 years before it was officially named. Because of the townā€™s location, Prescott became a center for commerce, and a frequent stop for those traveling on steamboats up, or down the St. Croix or the Mississippi. This boom time saw the construction of new homes, hotels, restaurants, banks, mills, and more. But, with the advent of the railroad, steamboat traffic ground to a halt. This slowed overall development, but the town still thrived. Today, Prescott is home to around 4,000 residents and a variety of thriving industries.
