Prospect is a city in far northeast Jefferson County, Kentucky, along the Ohio River. Part of it extends into Oldham County, making it one of the few cities in Jefferson County to extend past the county line. The population was 4,657 at the 2000 census. It is bordered by Oldham County to the northeast, the river to the west, and the Harrods Creek area to the southwest. Highway 42 is the primary transportation artery running through the area. Prospect is the ninth wealthiest place in Kentucky, and the third wealthiest of places with a population over 1,000. It was first settled in the late 18th century, along with the rest of the area, and was agricultural until the construction of the Louisville, Harrods Creek and Westport Railroad in the 1870s. The area was originally known as Sand Hill, and the new self-promotional name emerged when it was time to choose a name for a post office around 1900. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
