The Loomis Gang was a family of outlaws operating in Central New York during the mid-19th century, founded by George Washington Loomis Sr. and his wife Rhoda Mallet. The gang engaged in horse theft, livestock rustling, burglary, and counterfeiting, expanding into a multi-state syndicate under Wash Loomis. They cultivated local goodwill to avoid prosecution and were active from the early 1800s until their decline in the 1860s.
