History

Although the nearby community of Rainier was better known as the home of the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant, whose cooling tower was imploded in May 2006, the plant was in fact located less than a mile from Prescott. Prescott’s origin is that of a mill town associated with a large sawmill that was located on the west end town in an area now called Prescott Beach.

The community was named in 1905 for the owners of the mill. A post office was established on May 21, 1907, and ran until May 15, 1946.
