Vinegar Bend, about 15 miles south-southwest of Chatom, is often listed among America's unusual place names, and there are several stories about where the name came from. One says it was named in 1910, when a container of vinegar burst at the freight station near the bend of the river, though a station called Vinegar Bend already appeared in the railroad's official guide by 1904.
The railroad made the town. By 1854 the Mobile and Ohio Railroad had laid track through the area. Around the turn of the 20th century, Vinegar Bend was a busy lumber town with a huge planing mill, many stores and homes and a 42-room hotel, and its railroad owned half a dozen engines. When the writer Lucius Beebe visited in the 1940s, he found that boom long past and described the place as "a communal last chapter." Today Vinegar Bend is a small census-designated place. Its post office, ZIP code 36584, closed on July 1, 2010. Sources Wikipedia: Vinegar Bend, Alabama (citing Lucius Beebe)
