Among the earliest European-American settlers in what is now Wyoming was the Pendery family, who arrived in 1805. Wyoming was named after Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, where some settlers had come from. Robert Reily is considered the "Father of Wyoming" with men and women gathering at his home one week prior to the start of the Civil War in 1861 choosing the name of the village - Wyoming, a Delaware Indian term meaning "large plains." In 1874, Wyoming officially became a Village with 600 residents; and in 1951, the Village incorporated as a city of over 5,000 persons, implementing the Council-Manager form of government.
