Welcome to South Vinemont! Located just north of Cullman on US Highway 31, the Town of South Vinemont was incorporated in 1961 and has a population of approximately 450. Vinemont is a place of rural beauty that is home to many outdoor programs and activities. The town is located just south of the Cullman Airport at Folsom Field and is the gateway to Cullman County for many travelers. "It's a great place," said Mayor Melba Patton. "The citizens of Vinemont are our number one asset. To me, we have the number one school in the county. We have a great fire department, an active Scout chapter and senior citizens special event, our Jam Session - Country, Bluegrass and Gospel the first Friday night of every month." "Our wastewater project is in place and working. We're currently seeking grants for Phases II and III of this project. The town has started to blossom with new buildings for businesses and new homes." The Town of South Vinemont boasts quick access to Interstate 65, convenience to the airport, it is bisected by Highway 31 and also located near Alabama Highway 157; and the east side of town backs up on the (CSX) railroad. On a more community-oriented level, the town has a 3/4 mile walking trail that is popular with residents and a Scout/Community Center that is used by both civic groups and private citizens. According to Patton, the town's summer baseball program is also a source of great pride and plans are in the works to expand the program and construct additional baseball/softball fields. "We have people call from other places in Cullman County and want their child in the South Vinemont recreation program," she said. "That's a huge credit to our coaches and the people who run the summer program. We eventually hope to have three ball fields for their use." The Cullman County Vocational School, Career Center and Child Development Center are all located near South Vinemont as is the Cullman County Agricultural Trade Center, where many rodeos and other events are held each year. The Cullman County Volunteer Fire Association has a firefighter training facility located in the area as well. "We have a very good, hard-working council," Patton said. "They work well together and they work for the best interests of the people of the town." For more information on South Vinemont, contact the Town of South Vinemont at P.O.
