History
Formed in 1850 from Logan County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Wyoming County was created by Virginia in 1850 from Logan County. It lost territory to the creation of McDowell County in 1858 and to Raleigh County in 1871. In 1863, Wyoming County separated from Virginia and became a county in the state of West Virginia.
