History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Part of the extensive territory of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois League, the municipality was first settled by European Americans in 1792, after the American Revolutionary War.

The Town of Verona was established from the Town of Westmoreland, in 1802.

In 1993, the Oneida Nation purchased land in the town. On this site it built and opened a casino and bingo hall. By 1997, this facility was developed as a full-scale resort called Turning Stone Resort & Casino.
