Wyoming was formed from Genesee County, May
14, 1841. Eagle, Pike and a part of Portage were
annexed from Allegany Co. in 1846. The county seat is
Warsaw. Mary Jemison ( "The Old White Woman"), Ebenzer
Allen, John Tolles, Jacob Wright, Nathaniel Sprout and Stephen Crow were
some of the first settlers.
Wyoming is bounded on the north by Genesee County , on the east by Livingson County , on the south by Allegany and Cattarugus Counties, and on the west by Erie County.

their battle line by removing the Visitor Center. We would like to hear
