Description and history
The railway station at Linden was built in 1874 and was named after Linden Lodge, the home built in 1865 by local businessman William Jolley Henderson.[3] Linden was originally known as Seventeen Mile Hollow because of its location 17 miles (27.35 km) from the Nepean River. It was originally the location of a tollhouse erected in 1849 and demolished in the 1860s during the construction of the railway.
The village is near the grave of John Donohoe, a road-gang convict who died on 25 June 1837.
Linden Creek, which carves a deep valley on the north side of Linden, is a major tributary of the Grose River.
