Fort Wright

Fort Wright has served as a Civil War defensive position in Northern Kentucky since the 1860s. Set on high ground above the Ohio River valley, it is part of the closely linked urban area south of Cincinnati, alongside Covington and other Kenton County communities. The city takes its name from Fort Wright, an earthwork built by Union forces in 1862 to help protect Cincinnati during the war; it was named for General Horatio G. Wright. Today, Fort Wright is largely residential, while its location keeps it connected to the river cities and regional transport routes.
