[5]The area opened up for colonization in the middle of the 19th century, and in 1850 the Parish of Saint-Prosper was established out of the territories of Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan and Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade.

In 1853, its post office opened, and two years later, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Prosper was formed, with Augustin Massicotte as first mayor.

However, a small area to the west, bordering Saint-Stanislas and Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan, is part of the Batiscanie region.
