Lyons is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Wayne County, New York, United States.

Originally named "The Forks", Lyons was renamed by land agent George Williamson.

[5] The H. G. Hotchkiss Essential Oil Company Plant, Grace Episcopal Church Complex, Broad Street–Water Street Historic District, and U.S. Post Office are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

[8] Lyons celebrates Peppermint Days in mid-July to memorialize the region's past fame in producing this crop.

In 2012, a coalition of bipartisan taxpayers formed OneLyons, a group seeking to dissolve the village.

They circulated a petition to force a dissolution vote after the village did not follow up on a 2010 Center for Governmental Research Study showing that significant tax savings were possible and further efficiencies could be achieved.

In November 2012, the village voted to dissolve, beginning a process under the 2009 NYS Government Reorganization and Citizen Empowerment Act pushed by Governor Cuomo and Championed by Senators Nozzolio and Robach as well as local Assemblyman Bob Oaks of North Rose.

Acting Supreme Court Judge Nesbitt held two hearings, and ordered the Village of Lyons to complete a dissolution plan by October 20, 2013.

In 2014, the Appellate Court 4th Department in Rochester dismissed the lawsuit noting that since the Village of Lyons had ultimately complied, then further challenge was not allowed regardless of the evidence.

However, the OneLyons pro-dissolution group initiated a second lawsuit under Article 78 proceedings challenging the validity of the Village Certification process and claiming gross irregularities, fraud, intimidation, and multiple conflicts of interest.

The OneLyons group was presented extensive evidence in support of its positions that can be reviewed on their website at www.onelyons.com.

Ultimately, Judge Nesbitt deferred his discretion to the Clerk of the Village who had personally signed and been involved in the anti-dissolution movement, ruling that since she used the proper criteria then there was no further reason to doubt the validity of her decisions.
