Vineland is a small community in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, United States. It is part of the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation. A "census-designated place" (CDP) is a special area that the government counts for population, but it's not a city or town with its own local government.
In 2020, about 869 people lived in Vineland. This was a bit less than the 1,001 people who lived there in 2010.
The name of the community in the Ojibwe language is Neyaashiing. This means "on the point of land." This name makes sense because Vineland is located on a piece of land called Indian Point, which sticks out into Mille Lacs Lake. Vineland is also an important place for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. It serves as their main administrative center.
Vineland uses the ZIP code 56359, which is linked to the nearby town of Onamia.
