NYSAC - Wyoming County

 

Wyoming County History

Wyoming County was created from Genesee in 1841, with the addition of three townships from Allegany County in 1846. It lies within the foothills of the Allegany Plateau of western New York, a source of several streams that have carved out ancient valleys since the last glacial age. Along a portion of its eastern boundary flows the Genesee River during its northward passage through the rock cliffs near Portageville. This historic and scenic region, once the homeland of the Senecas, now lies within Letchworth Park, known as the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Mary Jemison, famed White Woman of the Genesee, lived in Castile.
