About Wyoming County: It was formed on April 4, 1842, when it was carved out of Luzerne County and named for the Wyoming Valley. The Wyoming County courthouse is at Tunkhannock. People have settled this area since before the American Revolution, and, in fact, Gen. John Sullivan's march went through it nearly 225 years ago. Wyoming County is home to Nicholson and and its famous Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct as well as Factoryville, birthplace of Pro Baseball Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson. Laceyville has the county's oldest home, and Meshoppen, an annual fair held in late August or early September. And then there is Noxen, which hosts an annual rattlesnake roundup, although have no fear as many of the critters are brought in for the event from neighboring counties. It is actually a beautiful place for your ancestors to have called home. |
