Vernier (French pronunciation: [vɛʁ.nje]) is a municipality in the Canton of Geneva, in Switzerland. It is located in the western suburbs of Geneva.

Toponymy

The name "Vernier" comes from the Celtic word "verne," which means alder.[3]

History

Le Lignon on July 28th, 1969

In 1915, excavations uncovered mule and horse shoes from the time of the Roman Empire. After the fall of Rome, Vernier was inhabited by Germanic peoples, such as the Burgundians and Franks. It later became part of the Holy Roman Empire, within the County of Savoy and the Duchy of Savoy. In 1601, it joined the Kingdom of France. The French Revolution established Vernier as a municipality. It included three settlements : the village itself, along with the hamlets of Châtelaine and Aïre. After Napoleon's fall, Vernier joined Switzerland in 1815.[4]

At that time, Vernier, with 566 inhabitants, was rural. In 1858, the construction of the Lyon-Geneva railway spurred the first major economic boom, leading to the establishment of industries. In 1896, the Chèvres factory, Europe's first run-of-river hydroelectric complex, began operations, providing electricity. This contributed to Vernier's industrialization and attracted several companies. From 1955 onwards, Vernier experienced significant population growth, with new housing estates like Le Lignon and Les Avanchets, alongside a large influx of immigrants.[5]
