Red form of mercuric sulphide; a scarlet that occurs naturally as the crystalline mineral cinnabar.

Vermilion

Town in east-central Alberta, Canada; population (1991) 3,900. It is situated on the Vermilion River, 184 km/114 mi east of Edmonton. The centre of a mixed farming area, it was first settled by squatters in the late 1890s. Homesteaders later replaced them and named the community Breage. In 1905 they moved the town westward with the arrival of the Canadian National Railway, which stimulated rapid population growth. Lakeland College is in the town.

Vermilion

Town in Erie and Lorain counties, north-central Ohio; population (1990) 11,100. It is situated on Lake Erie at the mouth of the Vermilion River, 16 km/10 mi southwest of Lorain. Its boating and fishing facilities are an attraction for summer tourists. Vermilion has substantial commercial fishing and some light industry. There are many stone quarries and dairy and wheat farms in the area.

Founded in 1808, the town took its name from its red clay river banks, the source for paint used by the Ottawa people.
