<br> | Lindon was established as a settlement in 1861 by pioneer families. The was named after the Linden tree but the spelling was mistakenly written as "Lindon". | ||
Growing rapidly in the late 1990's and through the first decade of the 21st century, the little country town is now a bedroom community for over 10,000 residents. | |||
Lindon is well known in the Emergency Preparedness community throughout the United States due to First Place City Preparedness awards in 2009, 2010 and 2011 for any city of any size. The awards are based on city, business, school and resident preparedness planning and involvement in quarterly and an annual citywide emergency drill. | |||
The city motto '''Lindon - A Little bit country''' represents the relaxed nature of the community where almost all residential lots are .5 acre or larger and include animal rights. | |||
