Vienna is a town in Dorchester County, Maryland, United States.

Prior to European colonization, a Nanticoke town called "Chicacone" existed where Vienna is now located.

Chicacone was the largest Nanticoke settlement at the time of John Smith's exploration of the Chesapeake Bay in 1608.

[4] By 1742, ongoing violations of Indian reservation rights by English colonizers caused the Nanticoke people to abandon Chicacone.

Many of the Nanticokes of Chicacone migrated north to Pennsylvania, New York, and Canada, while others stayed and assimilated into the white or black communities of lower Dorchester and Wicomico counties.

The wreck of a 45-foot cargo ship that was likely built at a small shipyard or plantation in Maryland was found in 2015 under the US 50 Bridge over the Nanticoke River.

This led to the building of a wall across the city's waterfront on the Nanticoke River.

[10] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.19 square miles (0.49 km2), all land.

Vienna is accessible by the Delmarva Community Transit commuter bus service.
