Wyoming is a borough in the Greater Pittston area of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States.

[3] The name "Wyoming" derives from the Munsee word xwé:wamənk, meaning "at the big river flat".

[6] In 1768, the Susquehanna Company of Connecticut devised a plan to divide the Wyoming Valley into five townships.

[7] On June 30, 1778, Loyalist forces, under the command of Major John Butler, arrived in the Wyoming Valley to attack the American settlements.

Widespread looting and burning of buildings occurred throughout the Wyoming Valley subsequent to the capitulation, but non-combatants were not harmed.

Today, in the Borough of Wyoming, a monument constructed in the early 1830s marks the gravesite of the casualties of the battle.

An annual observance, sponsored by the Wyoming Commemorative Association, takes place at the obelisk grounds to honor the fallen heroes of this Revolutionary War battle.

Along with the Wyoming Monument, the Luzerne Presbyterial Institute and Swetland Homestead are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Eighth Street Bridge was constructed over the Susquehanna River during the early 20th century; it connected the Borough of Wyoming to Jenkins Township.

The planes were moved to a higher elevation to prevent flood damage; they were relocated to the Wyoming Monument.

[12] The Borough of Wyoming is a small strip of land on the western bank of the Susquehanna River.

The Eighth Street Bridge links Wyoming to Jenkins Township, which is on the opposite bank of the Susquehanna River.
