Hotels/Resorts | Vacation Rentals | Rental Cars   Baptist College in Mount Vernon Mount Vernon is a city in Montgomery County, Ga. It is home to the Baptist-affiliated Brewton-Parker College. Mount Vernon is near Vidalia. Like so many towns in the region, Vidalia grew up around a train depot that serviced farmers in the area who grew such crops as pecans and tobacco. The famous sweet onions were not an important crop until much later. Most people know Vidalia because of its onions. The Vidalia onion was first produced about 1931 when a farmer's crop contained some particularly sweet onions. Other farmers started producing the same onion, and in the 1940s the Vidalia onion became an item sold to tourists. Vidalia onion growers have protected their brand, and today all onions labeled Vidalia must be grown in one of 13 different counties in Georgia or in specific portions of seven other counties. Because of their taste and reputation, they are able to command an increased price in the marketplace. In 1990, the Vidalia Onion was named as the "official vegetable" of the state of Georgia.
