Pretty much the only industry in Verona consists of Verona Village Resort and other busineses marketed expressly to the resort's customers. Because Verona Village Resort is a queer-friendly resort owned by the same person who owns

History of Yuba County, California (Chapter III: Indians), by Thompson & West, 1879, described the epidemic's effects on an Indian village located in what is now Verona:

The bodies or skeletons were found on the river banks, and under bushes in the woods, as if the sufferers were endeavoring to protect themselves from the ravages of the pestilence. |
