Fort Wright, KY – “World’s Best”Adjacent to Covington, Fort Wright, KY is primarily a residential community, with a small industrial park and a number of office complexes. It was established in 1941 and named after Maj. Gen. Horatio Gouverneur Wright, a Connecticut engineer who helped design military defenses for Northern Kentucky during the Civil War. At Fort Wright, homes are well-maintained traditional, brick and Cape Cods on winding streets. The hillside setting and an I-75 location for exceptionally fast travel to downtown Cincinnati and the airport have provided houses here with traditionally strong resale value. Residents’ dining options include Texas Roadhouse, Golden Corral, Bob Evans and Walt’s Hitching Post, famous for its hickory smoked barbecued ribs. Ribs aficionados call these finger lickin’ ribs the “world’s best.” (Note: Fort Wright is a member of the Brent Spence Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee— since it’s within the geographic scope of the project. Brent Spence opened in 1963 and is listed fundamentally obsolete by the National Bridge Inventory and must be replaced). | More Local Area InformationFort Wright, Kentucky is famous for being the area where General Horatio Governeur Wright helped defend the area against the Confederate invasion....
