History[edit]
Vienna became the county seat in 1855. It was likely named after Vienna, Austria,[7] although, according to folklore, the town was named after Vie Anna, the deceased daughter of a county judge.[8][9] A post office called Vienna has been in operation since 1856.[10]
The Maries County Jail and Sheriff's House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[11]
