About Wyoming
Wyoming is a city in Kent County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 76,501 at the 2020 census. Part of the Grand Rapids metropolitan area, Wyoming is bordered by Grand Rapids to the northeast and, after Grand Rapids, it is the second most-populous city in West Michigan.
European-Americans settled the area in 1832 along Buck Creek, and it was organized as Wyoming Township in 1848 after separating from Byron Township. Through the 19th and early 20th centuries, Wyoming remained a rural area providing goods to Grand Rapids, until the Grand Rapids, Holland and Chicago Railway spurred suburbanization. After Grandville was incorporated in 1933 and the General Motors Stamping Division Plant opened, Wyoming faced annexation disputes with Grand Rapids and Grandville until incorporating as a city in 1959.
As a city, Wyoming became a regional retail and entertainment hub on the 28th Street corridor with the opening of Rogers Plaza and Studio 28. Development declined in the 1980s. Growth then shifted to Wyoming's southwest near RiverTown Crossings and later around Metro Health Hospital after 2007, though the GM plant closed in 2009. Since the mid-2010s, the city has focused on redeveloping 28th Street through the City Center project and repurposing the 74-acre former GM property, now called Site 36.
