Prairie, west of Aberdeen in Monroe County, began in January 1860, when the Mobile and Ohio Railroad built a line and station here. A post office operated as Prairie Station from January 23, 1860, until August 22, 1895, when the name was shortened to Prairie. The town was incorporated in 1908 but later disincorporated, and in 1900 it had 122 people.
The Lenoir Plantation outside town, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was the site of a Civil War skirmish between Union soldiers under George E. Waring Jr. and Confederate forces. From 1942 to 1945 Prairie was the site of the Gulf Ordnance Plant, one of the largest ammunition plants of World War II. Managed by Procter and Gamble on 6,720 acres, it employed more than 10,000 people, most of them women, and produced artillery shells, rocket launchers, 100-pound bombs and naval tracer ammunition.
