At the time it was the head of navigation on the Feather River. After a wet winter, navigation was possible all the way to Marysville, and the population of Vernon began to diminish. However, it then became a fishing village, populated by Hawaiians (Kanakas) brought to California by John Sutter as laborers. They formed families with the local Native American population, the Nisenan. Other cultures were represented as well, including Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, East Indian, Korean, African, European, and Latino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/2020s\/2020spring\/?pdfpage=15\">Read more about Vernon and the oldest existing schoolhouse in Sutter County<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"resources\" class=\"wp-block-group resourcesSection is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<svg>\n\t  <use xlink:href=\"#divider\"><\/use>\n    <\/svg>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading sectionTitle\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>To learn more about the history of Vernon (formerly \u201cVerona\u201d), check out these articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"list-resources wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/1950s\/1956oct\/?pdfpage=4\">The Hawaiian Colony of Vernon by Bernice B.
