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]
