A Look Back: The History of Wedgeworth
Wedgeworth got its name from the Wedgeworth family, who were among the first people to settle in this area. For a while, the community had a post office that was called Greenwood. This post office operated from 1895 to 1904. After that, the post office's name changed to Wedgeworth, and it stayed open until 1955. This shows how the community's name changed over time.
