Prospect Park became a established as a town in 1874 and was eventually incorporated in the late 19th century, but the city had long been occupied by Swedish, Dutch and English settlers around two centuries before it became an established community. The city became known for its role during the Revolutionary War - especially the White Horse Tavern, the site of two skirmishes between British and American soldiers. Today, the city has come a long way since its original settlement, becoming one of Pennsylvania's finest suburban areas. According to the city's website, Prospect Park is 95 percent residential, meaning that this borough is an excellent place to raise a growing family.   

One of the city's biggest attractions is Morton Homestead State Park, a 2½-acre historical site that tells the story of one of the Prospect Park's first founders and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, John Morton. Today, the area serves as a reminder of the Quaker culture that was very influential in the early days of Pennsylvania's history.
