Unfortunately, historical records don't go back far enough. Certainly, if one defines prostitution as merely the exchange of sex for economic benefit, then prostitution most likely started in the Americas long before Europeans arrived; probably as soon as humans moved into the area.

Likely, prostitution developed in America at the same time the colonies were developing. It's the "age old profession".

Mary Jane Rotten Crotch was selling it on the mayflower! Not to mention that all of new Orleans was settled by prostitutes and crooks, much like Australia!

There was no formal "start" for prostitution in the US.
It was continuous form of "employment" carried on from its roots in England.

good question I would say when ameica began to get populated... like cities and stuff. I am sure the pligrims didn't do it, so maybe like around the late 1700's. that's my guess.
