History

Wilder was once known as Leitch’s Station. It was the first settlement in Campbell County. The name Wilder dates back to a railroad station built in the mid-19th century for the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington Railway named Wilder station. St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church was built in 1858 by German immigrants. “Wilder Station” is now located on property owned by Newport Steel. It is the home of supposed ghostly hauntings at the country music nightclub and honky tonk, Bobby Mackey’s Music World, which has been called “the most haunted nightclub in America”.
