Wright County is a county in the
state of Iowa. The county seat is Clarion. The county
organization became effective in January 1851, and is
believed to be named either after Silas Wright, a
governor of New York, or Joseph Albert Wright, a
governor of Indiana.
The first Wright County Fair was held in
Clarion. The old fairgrounds were located where
Clarion's USA Healthcare Center stands today. the
Clarion Fair ran until 1924; it was held in Goldfield in
1925, and moved to its present location in Eagle Grove
in 1926; it was later retitled as the Wright County
District Junior Fair. Entries are open to children in
Hamilton, Humboldt, Webster, Hardin, Franklin, and
Wright Counties.
