A Glimpse into Wien's History

Wien was officially planned and laid out in 1877. It was given its name after Vienna, which is the capital city of Austria. In German, Vienna is called Wien (pronounced "Veen").

Before the community was even planned, a post office was opened in Wien in 1873. This post office helped people send and receive letters and packages for many years. However, it eventually closed down in 1903.
