WRIGHT COUNTY MN

General Info

Wright County was established in 1855 and named in honor of New York Statesman Silas Wright. Railroad development sparked community growth and Monticello was first selected as the county seat. In 1860 the population had reached 3,729 and early industry was led by agriculture and lumbering. Businesses, churches and schools were built and a variety of new settlers arrived to stake land claims. In 1868 the county seat was moved to Buffalo and by 1900 Wright County’s population had reached 29,157. Continued transportation improvements allowed for growth and by 1990 its population had reached 68,710. Today Wright County is home to approximately 121,907 residents.
