History

Wolcott was platted in 1861 when the railroad was extended to that point and is named after its founder, Anson Wolcott. Oliver Wolcott, an ancestor of Anson, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. A post office has been in operation at Wolcott since 1861.

The Wolcott House was formerly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Wolcott 4th of July Summer Festival has been celebrated every year since 1967 on the grounds of the Wolcott House, except for 2020 due to the Coronavirus outbreak. It is now (as of 2022) celebrated on the weekend prior to the 4th of July.

Major businesses in Wolcott (as of 2020) include Indiana Ribbon (one of the few decorative ribbon manufacturing plants left in the U.S.), Dwyer Instruments, the Bank of Wolcott (with branches in Remington and Monticello), and the Farmers Elevator.

Wolcott aims to become the quietest town in America after passing a new town ordinance in 2022. Town members can be fined for producing any audible sound that can be heard from a neighbor’s property line. This could include a dog bark, normal conversations, generators, radios, wind chimes, etc. However, lawn and power tools are permitted.
