Wright County, County in Iowa, United States
Wright County extends across 582 square miles of land in central Iowa, featuring undulating terrain intersected by the Boone and Iowa Rivers.
The county was established in January 1851 and received its name from either Silas Wright, New York governor, or Joseph Albert Wright, Indiana governor.
The Wright County Fair, initiated in Clarion and later moved to Eagle Grove in 1926, welcomes participants from surrounding counties to showcase agricultural achievements.
The county seat of Clarion houses the courthouse at 115 North Main Street, providing administrative services to residents from Monday through Friday.
Wright County demonstrated remarkable political forecasting ability by voting for the winning presidential candidate in 21 of 25 elections during the 20th century.
