Vinje in Winnebago County, 1903:  Vinje was founded by Norwegian settlers, and the name Vinje is of Norwegian origin.  The post office was discontinued in 1907.

Vinje, Iowa

Vinje is an unincorporated community in Logan Township, Winnebago County, Iowa, United States. Vinje is located along county highways A16 and R50, 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Scarville. The community, which had a reported population of 2 in 2011, is home to Vinje's Pub and Grub. 

Circa 1900, Vinje was home to the Vinje Creamery Association. In 1924, Vinje's population was 23 residents.  Vinje's decline occurred because — like other communities, it did not have rail access.
