Prairie City is an unincorporated community in Jackson Township, Clay County, Indiana. It is part of the Terre Haute Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is located on State Highway 42. It once included a one room school, a small grocery which was a part of a house on the corner, a garage which did repairs on cars and tractors, and a few houses. The cemetery was across from the school, and both were across Birch Creek. The school was constructed of red brick, common in Clay County. In the 1940s/50s and probably before then the church was an EUB... Evangelical United Brethern.
