Selected from the Digital Public Library of America's 4 image records catalogued for this county. Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 1,217 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

July 2022Tornado (EF2)Java Center$750,000A tornado touched down in Wyoming County at approximately 10:40AM EDT in the town of Java just southwest of the intersection of NY Route 78 and Chaffee Rd. The tornado then moved along an east-northeast path near NY Route 78 for approximately 10 miles before dissipating in the western portion of the Town of Gainesville just west of NY Route 19 at about 10:55 AM EDT. The tornado was on the ground for approximately 15 minutes.||The tornado reached a maximum intensity of EF-2, with winds of 115 mph. The maximum path width was about 500 yards. The majority of the EF-2 rated damage was along the first two miles of the tornado path. This was also the portion of the track with the most consistent and continuous damage. In this portion of the track, the tornado did significant damage to a barn. The older portion of the barn saw its concrete block foundation toppled and the structure itself moved about 25 feet. The newer portion of the barn was entirely destroyed. Multiple hard and softwood trees were uprooted or saw their trunks sheared off as the tornado tracked along NY Route 78 until it got to|about Pleasant Valley Road. ||Damage became all EF-1 or lower rated to the east of Pleasant Valley Road through Hermitage. This included a few uprooted softwood trees and some minor wall damage to a structure on Shaw Road. ||As the tornado crossed from the Town of Wethersfield and into the western portion of the Town of Gainesville, damage became much less continuous and likely indicative of a discontinuous path of the tornado. All damage on this eastern extend of the path was minor tree damage and rated EF-0 before damage ceased about one mile west|of NY Route 19.
