Vineburg began in the late 1870s as a stop on the Sonoma Valley Railroad, which would later become a branch of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. The town was originally a major shipping point for locally-raised apples, pears, and eggs.[4] After the railroad was abandoned, the town began "gradually losing its identity" as distinct from nearby Sonoma, with its agricultural facilities giving way to light industry.[5]
