Vernon is a town within Vernon Township and the county seat of Jennings County, Indiana, United States.[5] With a population of 318 in the 2010 census, it is the smallest town with that designation in the state of Indiana, lying just south of the much larger North Vernon. It is nearly surrounded by the Muscatatuck River. Vernon is the only Indiana town with an elected mayor and an elected town marshal. As of 2023[update], Marshall Zamora is the mayor and Britt Burgmeier is the marshal.
The Vernon Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places and is the site of many firsts in the state.
- The first area set aside for use as a public playground in Indiana, The Commons
- The first elevated railroad overpass west of the Alleghenies
- The first all women's jury in Indiana
- The first Disciples of Christ church in Indiana
It was also the home of Indiana's fourth state park, now called Muscatatuck County Park.
