by Preston L. Cary (Author)
Located in the north-central part of Texas, Vernon is the county seat of Wilbarger County. Originally, the area was home to the Kiowa and Comanche Indians. The first white settlers came in April 1878. Two years later, on April 23, 1880, Vernon was settled as Eagle Flat, though that name was changed to Vernon on March 27, 1881, because the postal department said there were too many towns in Texas with the word eagle in their name. Once the Fort Worth & Denver Railway extended to Vernon, the population began to boom.
Author Biography
Author Preston Cary collected pieces of Vernon's history for many years, finding historical items and information at garage sales, estate sales, auctions, and from colleagues. A good friend, Earnest Bismark Schmoker, who had the same interest in local history, inspired the author to become the organizer of the Wilbarger County Historical Museum and to write the history of Vernon.
