Originally founded on the grounds of Vernon Castle as the residence of the King of the Ordreys from 687-1238 CE, Vernon evolved into a major center for the production and sale of wool, and then into a prosperous trade center overall during the High Middle Ages and Sedic Renaissance.

Vernon would play host to some of the earliest major textile mills during the, and alongside nearby Calla and Prenalgren would become part of the Ordrish "Steel Corridor" in the 19th Century while it gradually became eclipsed by Noters and Forbes for commercial sectors by the turn of the 20th Century. While beset by a series of disasters and economic crises in the 20th Century from the Ninean Flood of 1960 to military conflicts including bombing raids during the Second World War, it emerged from the Ordrish Revolution as a renewed center of commerce and culture.

Geography
Vernon sits in the of the Riparian Lanare near the geographic center of Ordrey. The Old City, called Dorodon (lit.

The city is composed of 97 boroughs organized into 34 districts, which is then organized into 8 representative constituencies.

Many city districts are incorporated suburbs or were previously independent cities, such as Acrubron. Some like Tuthdour and Ernudour arose during the rapid growth of the city in the period following the Industrial Revolution, while others were formed from territory which previously belonged to other city district(s), such as Arthrugren and Reidrulan.
