History

Vernonia was founded in 1891 by a group of settlers from Iowa. The town was named after the nearby Vernonia Lake, which was named after a type of wildflower that grew in the area. The settlers were attracted to the area by the abundance of timber and the potential for logging. The first sawmill was built in 1892, and the town quickly grew as more settlers arrived.

In the 1920s, the timber industry began to decline, and the town’s population began to decline as well. The Great Depression further exacerbated the decline, and by 1940 the population had dropped to just over 500 people.
