Background

History of Wayne County

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the land Wayne County encompasses was originally part of the Iroquois Confederacy, which had existed from around August 31, 1142. When counties were established in New York State on November 1, 1683, it became part of Albany County. On April 11, 1823, Wayne County was formed by combining portions of Seneca and Ontario counties.
