History

The Village of Newell’s Settlement was founded in 1809 by Silas Newell. It was later renamed to Wyoming in 1829, to be incorporated in 1875. However, on Revolutionary War muster roll taken for March, April, May, and June 1779, of Lieutenant Colonel William Smith’s company, a regiment of foot it states the regiment was mustered in Wyoming. Signed and dated by Nehemiah Wade, D.C.M. on June 30, 1779. It was one of the earliest locations where natural gas was developed. While the field was never a large producer, it still provides gas for the village streetlights and some homes to this day. The downtown historic district is known as the “Gaslight Village.”

Middlebury Academy was built in 1817 and was chartered by the NY Regents in 1819, and is believed to be the first institution of higher education west of the Genesee in New York. It still stands in downtown Wyoming, maintained as a museum by the Middlebury Historical Society. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of 1980. Also on the National Register of Historic Places are the Bryant Fleming House and Wyoming Village Historic District.

Another historic place is Hillside Inn, a classic Greek revival mansion built by Dr. Pliny Hayes as a Water Cure establishment in 1851. It overlooks the Village of Wyoming, and until 2012, was a bed and breakfast inn. The Hillside Inn was auctioned on August 17, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. by Bontrager Auctioneers. It also has been a spa (with mineral springs) and has hosted many famous people including Susan B. Anthony, John Muir, and Presidents Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
