History

Wild Rose

First settlers of this area arrived from Rose, New York in 1850. When the village was organized in 1874 it was named Wild Rose to distinguish it from the town of Rose and because of the large population of wild roses growing in the area.

From the Portrait and Biographical Album of Green Lake, Marquette and Waushara Counties, Wisconsin - Acme Publishing Co. 1890

Wild Rose is a small village on the border between this Rose and Springfield, mostly in the last mentioned town.
