The city of Prosser, Washington, named for Civil War veteran Colonel William Farrand Prosser, was incorporated in 1899 with a population of 230 people. Colonel Prosser and his wife Flora claimed a homestead near the site of an ancient Yakama Indian fishery in 1892. The Yakama Indians had, of course, lived in the area for thousands of years, The Prosser Historical Museum has exhibits showing the history of the region. One exhibit is a quilt made to celebrate the U.S. Bicentennial.
