Located in south-central Matagorda County, Wadsworth was named after an early settler William Wadsworth. The town was founded by Ambrose A. Plotner and John W. Stoddard who formed the Colonial Land Company. The railroad was built and by 1907 the town had its own post office. The telephone system came into place seven years later. By the mid-1930s Wadsworth established its own school district which consolidated with the Bay City ISD in 1949. The population has increased from 88 people in 1949 to 152 in 1990 and finally, in 2000 it was 160 residents.
