The name origins piece says that "It was once a siding for the Northern Pacific Railroad northeast of Prosser." From what I can tell, that was all it was. No topo or aerial shows a town here, and while there is a census-based document which give "Apricot" a population, reading the preface indicates that this number comes from two block groups put together according to a scheme of the authors; there's no claim that this area was intended to represent a distinct settlement.
