Revolutionary beginnings, modern lifestyle
Wyoming, Pennsylvania may not be the most famous Wyoming in America, but it was the first. Named for the Wyoming Valley in which it sits, the town was established in the 1700s along the banks of the Susquehanna River. The most infamous event in the town’s history occurred during the Revolution, when 300 militiamen defending the town were defeated by British and Native American forces. Today the town is a peaceful riverside hamlet conveniently close to Wilkes-Barre, but a monument to this historic episode proudly stands. Residents gather at its base yearly on July 4th to celebrate the community’s roots in a ceremony which Alan Stout, executive director of the Luzerne County Visitor’s Center, says “only seems to get bigger every year.” While homeowners pick up groceries at Gerrity’s and kids play baseball in the local Little League, the history of Wyoming remains a source of pride for the community tasked with its remembrance.
Wyoming's name derives from a Munsee word meaning 'at the big river flat'.

That side of the river
Sitting across from Wilkes-Barre “on that side of the river,” as the locals say, Wyoming is first and foremost a colonial borough. Up and down the streets Renovated Foursquares and brightly colored Colonials can be found alongside squat stone bungalows. Prices can start as low as $140,000 and rise as high as $265,000 depending on build year. The community is welcoming and neighborly and packed with families. “People put down roots in Wyoming,” says Dr. William Lewis, a past president of the Luzerne County Historical Society and a member of the community. Many families have generational ties to Wyoming and are excited to share historical information about their home town.

Butler Street and baseball
Butler Street Park, named for the general who led the Wyoming militia, is a pocket of green space in the neighborhood featuring basketball courts, a playground and several picnic tables where residents gather and chat over cups of hot coffee. Little League is also important to Wyoming, with the Wyoming-West Wyoming Field serving as a hub of baseball activity on weekends.

Pork loin for dinner and nut loaf for dessert
For groceries, locals head a mile down historic Route 11 to Gerrity’s Supermarket or Price Chopper, both located near Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport. Five miles down that road are ALDI and Lowe’s, while the nearest Target can be found 7 miles away across the river. The carved pork loin dinner at The Avenue Diner is a close-to-home comfort food favorite, and the nut loaf from Wyoming’s Royal Bake Shop is a locally famous dessert staple.

145 years and counting
For 145 years, citizens of Wyoming have gathered at the Wyoming Monument on the 4th of July to stand in observance of the sacrifice made in 1778. The monument sits on Route 11, which passes through Wyoming on its way north to the Canadian border and south to New Orleans. “Thousands of people drive by this monument daily,” Stout says. “I hope, every once in a while, people will pause and remember this is where people lost their lives for the birth of this country.” Those who live near this hallowed ground remain intimately connected to this heritage. “It’s a beautiful town, well-maintained. It’s crazy to think of the amount of history that lives in these streets,” Dr. Lewis says. Recently a cutting of the Liberty Tree was planted at the Wyoming Monument, which residents hope will cement the enduring legacy of their town for decades to come.
The Wyoming Monument commemorates the Battle of Wyoming (or Wyoming Massacre) in 1778.
With its fascinating history and living legacy, residents are proud to call Wyoming their home.
