The population was 505 at the 2020 census. The village is located within Wright Township. The first settler to the area was Russell Coman, who came from New York in 1835. In 1837, the early settlers submitted the new name of the community as Coman, but a clerical error ended up assigning the community's name as Canaan. It was renamed Wright after the township in 1844. A post office opened on November 2, 1855, and was named South Wright due to the community's southern location in the township. In 1877, portions of the community were formally platted and adopted under the name Waldron after congressman Henry Waldron of Hillsdale, who represented the area in the U.S. House of Representatives. Waldron incorporated as a village in 1905.
