| Vernon, Connecticut is a residential community of 18.6
square miles located east of Hartford on Interstate 84 in north central
Connecticut. Interstate 84 connects with I-90, I-384, I-91, and I-291. The
convenient access provided by the interstate high way system has contributed
to Vernon's development as a suburban community and a commercial center for
neighboring towns. The former Rockville mills section has made a transition
from being primarily an industrial and commercial center to being a
professional and governmental center. It is the site of local government,
education, and State of Connecticut administrative offices. |
