History

Vernon was named after Mount Vernon. The Vernon post office was established in 1817. Vernon was the site of a near-battle on July 11, 1863 during Morgan's Raid. John Hunt Morgan demanded the surrender of the town, which was defended by 100 local militia in strong positions on hills and bluffs overlooking the Muscatatuck River and 178 Union troops under the command of Colonel Hugh Williams.] The defenders successfully stalled Morgan until 1,000 Union troops under the command of Brigadier General John Love arrived. Morgan ultimately retreated south toward Dupont, Indiana.
