History

The town was named for Verona, New York. It was incorporated as a village in 1921 and as a city in 1978.

Verona used to be home to the Dane County Insane Asylum which opened in 1882, closed in 1973, and was demolished in 2006. It was previously a poor farm for people who needed care due to old age, blindness, disease, deformity, loss of limbs and insanity.

The area was also the site of a small leper colony sometime between 1890–1910. It is now a dog park.
