Wright Township is located on the east side of Jefferson County 
with the community known as Atlee.  At statehood the voting box 
had approximately 75-80 voters.  It was known prior to that
time as Butcher Knife, due to a man of the area who always 
carried a pistol and butcher knife.

However his wife's name was Atlee so the Post Office and village 
got the name from her.

The township was named for Atlee resident John Wright 
who served as the second sheriff of Jefferson County.

Another portion of Wright Township is called Union Hill.  
Pages 183A-186A are in this area. A school operated in this area 
for a short time.
