City Description

Vinton is a town in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 3,338 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Lake Charles Metropolitan Statistical Area. If one were to stand at the heart of Vinton and look back in time over a hundred years, the view would have been unrecognizable. It was still frontier country largely uninhabited and untamed.
