Prarieton, Indiana is a small town of about 250 residents in southwestern Vigo County, Indiana. Today, due to its proximity to both Terre Haute's southern shopping district (along U.S. Route 41 for approximately two miles south of Interstate 70) and the Terre Haute Federal Penitentiary, it has mostly become a commuter town (State Road 63 provides Prarieton residents fast access to Terre Haute), with fewer than ten businesses within its "city limits".
