Vernonburg is a town in Chatham County, Georgia, about 10 miles south of downtown Savannah. It is located at a sharp curve along the Vernon River, a tidal creek. The population was 138 at the 2000 census. Vernonburg was first settled by German craftsmen in the mid-1700s (hence the German suffix "-burg"), and was incorporated in 1748. By the early 1800s, the town was becoming a summer community for wealthy Savannahians. Then as now, it was linked to downtown Savannah by White Bluff Road, the nineteenth-century extension of Bull Street. Today Vernonburg is an attractive residential village with large homes and beautiful landscaped gardens.
