History

Settled prior to 1818, the community was first known as “Screamersville”, since the cry of wild animals could still be heard during the night. It became the county seat in 1819 and was then known as the “Town of Marengo”. This was changed to “Hohenlinden” in 1823, to honor the county’s earliest European settlers, French Bonapartist refugees to the Vine and Olive Colony. The name commemorated the battle in 1800 at Hohenlinden, Bavaria, where the French defeated the armies of both Austria and Bavaria. The spelling was later shorten to just Linden.
