  • Lynden was founded in the 1870s by Holden and Phoebe Judson near the site of the Nooksack Indian village Squahalish. Phoebe Judson named it after the riverside town in Hohenlinden, a poem by Thomas Campbell. According to her book, A Pioneer's Search for an Ideal Home, she changed the spelling of "Linden" to be more visually appealing. Lynden was officially incorporated as a city on March 16, 1891.
    The city lies in a broad valley formed by the Nooksack River, which empties into nearby Bellingham Bay. The surrounding area is filled with dairy, raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry farms. The region saw significant Dutch immigration in the early and mid 1900s, spurring the growth of dairies. The city pays homage to its Dutch heritage through the design of buildings on Front Street and local businesses with "Dutch" names and products. In the early 21st century, the population has nearly doubled in size, with Dutch being more predominate than other ethnic ancestry.
