The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗A post office called Wild Rose has been in operation since 1873. The village was named from wild rose bushes near the original town site, although many early settlers arrived from Rose, New York in the mid 1850's and the town may be named Wild Rose in reference to Rose, NY.
The Wild Rose Historical Society maintains Pioneer Museum on Main Street in Wild Rose.
