The city of Warsaw was re-formed in 1803 from part of the Town of Batavia after the entrepreneur Elizur Webster bought land there. It is probably named after the Polish capital Warsaw . In 1812, the Town of Middlebury was formed from a part of Warsaw , two years later the town of Gainesville was founded to lose another area. Originally Warsaw belonged to Genesee County until May 19, 1841, from the part of the county in which Warsaw is located, the Wyoming County was formed.
From the late 19th century onwards, salt was processed in and around Warsaw, which led to an above-average population increase in the city between 1880 and 1890. After the Second World War , many companies left Warsaw, and today it is mainly agricultural businesses that make up the economic power of the city.
