Prosperity, South Carolina
Prosperity is a town in Newberry County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 1,180 at the 2010 census.

Captain Matthew Hall settled in the area in 1827, and established a store and post office in the early 1830s.

A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property.

Of the more than one and a half million properties on the National Register, 95,000 are listed individually. The remainder are contributing resources within historic districts.
