Wright is a town in Campbell County, Wyoming, United States.

Ten thousand years ago, the first people came to the high plains to hunt buffalo and antelope.

In more recent times, the Sioux and Crow claimed this area as their hunting grounds.

In the 1880s, ranchers came to graze long horn cattle and sheep on the open range.

As with all energy towns, housing, schools, and essential services were needed.

The Town of Wright was incorporated in 1985, making it one of Wyoming's newest municipalities with a rich history.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 2.85 square miles (7.38 km2), all land.

Public education in the town of Wright is provided by Campbell County School District #1.

The site for the proposed, but stalled, Two Elk Energy Park is several miles from town.

Recent iterations of the plan include using beetle-killed pine as fuel.

Nearly half a billion dollars are available from tax-exempt bonds, but additional investment is required in order to fund the plant.
