North Vernon is a city in Jennings County, Indiana, which was platted in 1854 under the name Tripton. It was nicknamed “The Crossroads of Indiana” due to the sheer number of trains passing through the town, headed in all different directions. The city has an urban folktale suggesting that famed bank robber John Dillinger decided not to rob a bank in North Vernon because the number of trains would make getting away slow and difficult. In 1873, a tax was levied to raise money for civic projects, covering local bonds and each dog within city limits; the dog tax was unpopular but efforts to rescind it failed. The tax was followed by a 300% increase in the cost of liquor licenses.
