About Vinings
Vinings, like Atlanta was developed by the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which in 1836 was owned and directed by the State to connect the Chattahoochee and Tennessee Rivers and to other railroads operating throughout Georgia. Back then, many of the inhabitants were railroad workers and their supervisor was an engineer whose main task was collecting mailbags each week from the postman. That engineerÿs first name has never been revealed, but legend has it that his last name was Vinings!
In the late 1960ÿs, a well-known Atlanta developer, Felix Cochran, began to accumulate property in the Vinings area. His goal was to construct a ´town center¡, that would incorporate the historical Vinings past with modern day conveniences, where residents could commune with one another. Cochranÿs goal was obtained 15 years later and the by product is the present Vinings Jubilee. Vinings Jubilee is a group of varied buildings each one offering a Victorian period feature. It is considered ´downtown Vinings¡ where residents and visitors can enjoy fine dining and great shopping.
Vinings, unlike most neighborhoods, continues to pride itself on retaining its novel small-town charm.
Vinings is a census-designated place and an unincorporated town in Cobb County, Georgia, just across the Chattahoochee River from Atlanta. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 9,677. The United States Postal Service uses "Atlanta" for all Vinings addresses, although "Vinings" is still acceptable.
The Weather Channel and Home Depot are headquartered in Vinings.
