History
It has been stated that details regarding the community's settlement and its founders are unknown.[3]
In its earlier times, Verona was "a thriving business community surrounded by farmlands".[3] 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.[3] The community's post office was opened on March 24, 1834, and Verona was incorporated as a city in 1909.[3] The city's incorporation later dissolved when the community's leadership became dormant.[3] The Walton-Verona independent school district was established in 1954.[3]
