The first white settlers arrived in Vermillion today in 1844. They were a group of Mormons seeking a new home after being driven out of Illinois. From the time they left Illinois until they reached the Missouri River they did not have sufficient food. Coming upon buffalo country, they had plenty of meat and wild honey to survive.
