Vernon was incorporated in October, 1808, from Bolton. Vernon contains the
borough of Rockville, incorporated in January, 1889. The town of Vernon and city
of Rockville consolidated as a town on July 1, 1965. It also contains the

The town is the birthplace of former professional football player and four time
