Welcome to Vernon ...

So far, we found very little information about Vernon. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Vernon to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Vernon - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Vernon, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Vernon , we believe that it would have been located within present day Graham County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Vernon, you might consider that their post office opened in 1884.

If Vernon still existed, it would have been in the (785) area code.

Adding Vernon to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Vernon was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Vernon post office opened in 1884.

Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Vernon, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Kansas' counties, including Graham, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
