Unattended Death and Biohazard Cleanup in Verona, KY

Verona is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in southern Boone County, Kentucky, near the Gallatin and Grant county lines.

Verona's post office opened on March 24, 1834, and in its early days the community was a thriving farm trade center with a bank, a creamery, a blacksmith, grocery and dry goods stores, a funeral home, and even its own jail.

Verona was incorporated as a city in 1909, but the incorporation later dissolved when the community's leadership became dormant, leaving it unincorporated today.

The 2020 census counted 1,545 people in the Verona CDP, living in 538 households, and the Census Bureau classifies the entire CDP as rural.

The CDP covers about 12.3 square miles of farmland and countryside, far larger than the historic hamlet at the intersection of Kentucky Routes 14 and 16.

Walton lies about 6 miles northeast of Verona along Routes 14 and 16, and downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, is about 27 miles to the north.

Local children attend the Walton-Verona Independent School District, established in 1954; the district's elementary school is located in Verona, while its middle and high schools are in Walton.

At the 2020 census the median age in Verona was 42.5 years, and about two-thirds of its households were married-couple households.

Interstate 71 runs along the northwestern edge of the CDP, and Bullock Pen Creek forms part of its southern boundary along the Grant County line.

Verona is served by ZIP code 41092 and sits at an elevation of about 866 feet in Boone County, Kentucky's northernmost county.
