City Of Vienna

Vienna remained rich farmland up until the late 19th Century, when roads were improved and tracks for an electric railway between Parkersburg to the south, and Marietta to the north, were laid. The strip of ground lined with trees you see in our site's graphic, above, is where they were.

Charles R. Blair, shown here, was Vienna's first mayor. Incorporated in 1935, Vienna steadily grew to the city it is today: An important hub of commerce in the Mid Ohio Valley -- home to retail stores, shopping malls, motels, restaurants, manufacturing facilities and much more.
