Welcome to Wyoming County New York State map with Wyoming Co. highlighted in red


Wyoming County was formed from Genesee County on May 19, 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"), Ebenezer Allen, John Tolles, Jacob Wright, Nathaniel Sprout and Stephen Crow were some of the first settlers.

Wyoming County is bounded on the north by Genesee County, on the east by Livingston County, on the south by Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties, and on the west by Erie County.
