From Connections to Community

Vinings was formerly utilized as a railroad junction in the 1840s in an attempt to connect the industrial Midwest with Savannah. An assistant engineer named William H. Vining was tasked with constructing a challenging bridge that soon came to be known as Vining’s Bridge due to the amount of time it took to complete. Over time, the name stuck and in 1904 the area’s name was shortened to merely “Vinings”.

To this day, Vinings still remains an unincorporated “census-designated place” rather than an incorporated city. This tight-knit community is home to historic buildings, businesses, and stores and is close to the amenities of Atlanta such as the Chattahoochee River, Truist Park and The Battery, Silver Comet Trail, and more!*
