The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky states that the exact details regarding the community's settlement and its founders are unknown.

In its earlier times, Verona was "a thriving business community surrounded by farmlands". The community had a building supply store, a blacksmith, a bank, a creamery, grocery stores, a dry goods store, saloons, tobacco shops, a barber shop, a funeral home, a jail and a post office. The community's post office was opened on March 24, 1834, and Verona was incorporated as a city in 1909. The city's incorporation later dissolved when the community's leadership became dormant. The Walton-Verona independent school district was established in 1954.
