Hiram Good, “Indian hunter” homesteaded in Lower Deer Creek, later Vina, filing Proof of Claim in the Marysville office on February 4, 1857.[4]

Lower Deer Creek became Vina in the 1860s when a winery was founded, and derives its name from the Spanish-language word meaning "vineyard".[5] A post office has been in operation at Vina since 1871.[6]
