Vineland, Missouri facts for kids

Vineland is a small, unincorporated community located in Jefferson County, Missouri, in the U.S. state of Missouri. An unincorporated community means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's usually managed by the county.

The Story of Vineland's Beginning

Vineland was officially planned and mapped out, a process called platting, in 1869. It got its name because there were many vineyards nearby when the community was first established. Vineyards are farms where grapes are grown, often for making wine or juice.

A post office, which is a place where you can send and receive mail, was opened in Vineland in 1867. This post office served the community for many years, helping people connect with others through letters and packages. It continued to operate until 1955, when it finally closed its doors.
