  • According to the Pretty for Prom website, the formal dance we call prom was first named "the prom," a foreshortened form of the word promenade, in the 1890s. The first documented evidence of the term is attributed to a student at Amherst College who used the term ''prom'' in his journal, describing his attendance of a dance at Smith College in 1894.
