A community in Dane Co. at latitude 425649N and longitude 0893921W
Description from John W. Hunt's 1853 Wisconsin Gazetteer:
"MOUNT VERNON, P. V., on the town line between Primrose and Springdale, in Dane county, 17 miles southwest from Madison. It is a flourishing village, with a healthy situation, in the valley of Sugar River, surrounded by a fine farming country producing grain of all kinds in great abundance, and well adapted to grazing and wool growing; and occupied by an industrious and enterprizing population. It has several good hydraulic powers, an excellent stone quarry, and good material for making brick. Taking into consideration the many advantages of this place, and the distance to other villages, together with the fact, that the land in the county is owned by actual settlers, it is destined, ere long, to assume an important place among the rapidly growing towns of Wisconsin."
