### History

The founding of Vernadia by a class of patriotic folks.

For example, Mrs. Maria Applejack and Mr. Hideyoshi recount how when they were pilgrims and made a living by "collecting new seeds and selling the old". When they came to Canterlot Presidential University, Principal Tony granted the Applejack Family land near the Vernadia-Everfree regional border – where Mr. Hideyoshi and his family planted their first orchard.

Because the town was founded by Earth humans, they had to clean up winter by hand instead of by magic. In the present day, Vernadia still does the "Winter wrap-up" as a town tradition; in the song within the same title, Dennis says that Vernadia has done this for "hundreds of years" (which was seemingly contradicted by the later story of the founding of Vernadia).

## Infrastructure and places

The Infrastructure of Vernadia consists of mostly medieval village-style architecture.

### Houses

Typical houses are timber-framed with distinct thatched roofs and overhanging upper floors.

### Town square and town hall

The town hall is at the center of Vernadia town square. The town's citizens gather in the town hall to witness Princess Finlandia raise the sun with her magic at the thousandth Finnish Summer Celebration.

For example, Dennis and her friends give speeches on the town hall podium at the beginning of a ceremony celebrating the Applejack's contributions to the town.
