Prosperity is an unincorporated community in Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, United States.^[1]

In law, an unincorporated area is a region of land that is not governed by a local municipal corporation; similarly an unincorporated community is a settlement that is not governed by its own local municipal corporation, but rather is administered as part of larger administrative divisions, such as a township, parish, borough, county, city, canton, state, province or country. Occasionally, municipalities dissolve or disincorporate, which may happen if they become fiscally insolvent, and services become the responsibility of a higher administration. Widespread unincorporated communities and areas are a distinguishing feature of the United States and Canada. In most other countries of the world, there are either no unincorporated areas at all, or these are very rare; typically remote, outlying, sparsely populated or uninhabited areas.

Morris Township is a township in Washington County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1,105 at the 2010 census.

According to tradition, the name "Prosperity" stems from the first settlers' optimism.^[2]
