| | Wyoming County, New York Genealogical Records Information |
 | | The County is almost wholly an agricultural section, with grains, hay and dairying as the main form of farming, although there are heavy plantings of fruit trees and in some parts vegetables, particularly potatoes, are the main crops. |
| | The organization of the County was not completed until May 14, 1841, when the southern half of Genesee was erected as Wyoming County, with Warsaw chosen as the shiretown. |
| | At the time of the erection of the County, horse drawn vehicles were still the only means of transportation, but the Tonawanda and Rochester Railroad was completed to Attica in 1843, and, although there were no more railroads built until nearly ten years later, there was a marked boom in the growth of the County. |
