About Wright, Pennsylvania

Wright is a township of 5,722 people in Luzerne County. It was carved out of old Hanover Township in 1851 and named for Col. Hendrick B. Wright of Wilkes-Barre. Its earliest settler, Conrad Wickeiser, arrived in 1798. James Wright later opened the first tavern nearby and built the first sawmill, though that ground is now part of Fairview Township.

Wright was a lumber district, and it grew as the timber was cut, from 278 people in 1860 to 603 in 1870 and 881 in 1880. In February 1889 the township was divided where school districts 1 and 2 met. The larger northern part took the new name Fairview, along with the only village, so the 1890 census found just 152 people left in Wright. The county history pointed out that the old township as a whole had actually gained nearly 150 people that decade.

  • Garrison's mill on the WapwallopenWithin the present township, the first settler was probably Cornelius Garrison, who came in 1833 or 1834. He put up a sawmill on Big Wapwallopen Creek in the southwest, and it outlasted every other mill in Wright. Garrison also made the first small farm clearing, raised the first crop and planted the first orchard.
  • Mail by horsebackWilliam G. Albert was the first postmaster, with his office on the west side of the township, where J. Shafer later lived. At first a rider brought the mail once a week. Then Horton & Gilchrist of Wilkes-Barre began running a stage between Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton, and the mail started arriving three times a week.
  • An assessor for eight yearsWhen the new township held its first town meeting, voters chose Eleazer Carey as assessor. He kept the job for eight years.
