Verona is an unincorporated community in Alameda County, California. It is located on the Western Pacific and the Southern Pacific Railroads 2.25miles north of Sunol, at an elevation of 315 feet (96 m).
The name is from the estate of Phoebe Hearst La Hacienda del Pozo de Verona which was located nearby and the station at Verona was the nearest to the estate.
A small shelter named Verona was built in 1901. It served the local farmers in the area and had a nearby picnic area. The station was retired in March 1939.[1]
