Wild Horse Creek nearby gave the town its name. It was originally founded in 1869 as a barracks, later becoming a railway station. By the mid-1870s it was a complete town.
The heyday peaked in the early twentieth century and began shrinking thereafter. In 1917 there was a fire. While the town was rebuilt, it never reclaimed its status as a central service town and began to shrink again.
