Wyoming County
Warsaw's local history begins with Elizur Webster's settlement in 1803 near Oatka Creek. The area belonged to Genesee County before Wyoming County was formed in 1841. Agriculture and manufacturing contributed to the community's growth, and salt discoveries in 1881 added a new resource-based industry. The sequence connects land development, county organization and changing economic opportunities, showing how the county seat's identity accumulated through several kinds of work rather than one defining event alone.
Use Warsaw's village history to connect its creekside setting with the later salt industry. The Holland Land Company background and the earlier Genesee County connection are useful for anyone following older records. Choose current public destinations through local information, since former industrial locations may have different present uses. A focused county visit can begin with the village's civic role and then follow one of the working histories that helped shape it.

The 2020 Census geography figures record 592.752 square miles of land and 3.536 square miles of water in Wyoming County. The county’s total area includes both. These are geographic measurements for that Census vintage, not a measurement of current water levels or public recreation access.
In the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate series, Wyoming County had an estimated 40,264 residents on July 1, 2020, and 39,741 on July 1, 2025. Over that interval, the estimated population decreased by 523 residents, or about 1.3%. Both figures come from the same estimate vintage, which revises earlier years for a consistent comparison.
