History
Founded in 1819, the village is named after the city of Versailles in France. Versailles was originally named Jacksonville, in honor of Andrew Jackson and his victory at the Battle of New Orleans. Later on, as a large number of early residents were of French descent, it was suggested that the village’s name be changed to “Versailles” in memory of their homeland. Versailles became the new name of the village in 1837.
Village name
The proper local pronunciation of the name is ver-sales, with the accent on the second syllable, unlike the French city of the same name.
