| Facts |
Founded: 1792
Size: 68 square miles
Population: 24,686 |
Located in the rolling hills of Sussex County, there lives more
than 24,000 people who call Vernon Township their home. Many
more people pass through Vernon each year, be it for a day long
getaway or to follow the path of the Appalachian Trail.
The independent township of Vernon was established
on November 19, 1792. The 68 square miles which marked the
town's borders
over 200 years ago have not changed since. However, the population
of Vernon, which as a mere 1548 people as recently as 1950,
has steadily grown since the 1960's, when the ski industry
was introduced to the area. Today, the town's growth is best
reflected by its school system - its 5451 students make it
the largest school system in Sussex County.
