Vienna is a town in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 483 in 2020.
During the American Civil War, Confederate troops drilled at a new camp established in 1862 in Vienna. Later in the war, a parolee camp was established at Vienna.[2]
Vienna was the parish seat of Lincoln Parish from its creation in 1873 until 1884, when a parish-wide vote moved it to the new railroad town of Ruston.[3][4][5][6]
