Named for a small nearby hill, Prairie Hill's first settler was shopkeeper Marquis Perry, who became the first postmaster when the community received a post office in 1884. Although the post office was closed in 1906, it was reopened in 1925. The community continued to grow well into the twentieth century, reaching its peak during the Great Depression. It has declined since the early 1940s, although the community has remained rather stable for the last thirty years.[4]
