Wyoming County, Administrative division in northeastern Pennsylvania, United States.
Wyoming County is an administrative division in northeastern Pennsylvania that covers a landscape of forested hills and river valleys. Tunkhannock serves as its county seat, while smaller towns and rural communities are scattered throughout the region.
The county was established in 1842 when Pennsylvania's General Assembly separated it from Luzerne County to serve the growing settlements in this mountainous region. This division allowed for more localized governance and development of the area.
Wyoming County maintains multiple public school districts, including Elk Lake and Tunkhannock Area, which serve the educational needs of local communities.
The area is best explored by car since communities are spread across the landscape and public transportation options are limited. Visitors should prepare for rural roads with elevation changes and allow time to reach different locations within the county.
The Skyhaven Airport, located south of Tunkhannock, provides aviation services to Wyoming County residents and visitors throughout the year.
