History

The settlement was originally known as West Prussia due to the large number of Prussian inhabitants. There is a German Lutheran church at the end of Wolcott Road that was constructed in 1873 and still stands today. After hard times hit the community, Marvin's Bar & Grill is now the sole remaining business in Wolcottsburg, although there were once two stores and a hotel.

Geography

A small stream, known as Black Creek, runs through the town and ends just after Goodrich Road. There is a small airstrip located in the western portion of the hamlet.
