Prospect began as a logging town; its first sawmill began operating in 1870.[7] Prospect had a post office established in 1882 that was first named "Deskins" after the first postmaster.[8] In 1888, there was a mill named Deskins Sawmill. The name of the community was changed to "Prospect" in 1889 because of plans made to run a railroad up the Rogue River, which would ostensibly improve the community's prospects.[8]
The Prospect Hotel, which opened in 1892, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[7][9]
