A Short History of Wyoming County Wyoming County was created by the Virginia General Assembly on January 26, 1850 from the upper portion of Logan County.  There are conflicting reports concerning the county name's origin.  Most historians believe that it came from a loose translation of the Delaware Indian word Maughwauwama, meaning "large or extensive plains."  Others believe that it originated from a poem written by Thomas Campbell entitled "Gertrude of Wyoming."  Since its formation, parts of Wyoming County have been used to form Raleigh County and McDowell County.
