Vinings Real Estate

Vinings GeorgiaJust across the Chattahoochee River north of Atlanta in the state of Georgia lies the community of Vinings. At a population of about 10,000, Vinings has too many people to be called a village or a hamlet but it is not incorporated and so it cannot be called a city. The Paces Ferry entrance to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is between the West Paces Ferry section in the Atlanta city limits and the town of Vinings. Vinings is adjacent to the gateway of the recreational area and enjoys the proximity of the physical beauty of a national park.

During the civil war, the Union occupied what is now called Vinings but at the time of the occupation it was called Crossroads and then named Paces after the operator of Paces Ferry. At this time, railroad tracks were being laid from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Atlanta and Vinings was the construction station that was named after William Vinings who worked on the construction of the railroad bridge and laying railroad tracks. Aside from working on the railroad, no other notorious status is known for Mr. Vinings. Since the Pace home was used as a war hospital and destroyed, the area became known as Vinings and trains still run past Vinings regularly.
