Lynden Washington History
The City of Lynden was officially incorporated on March 16, 1891. It was originally named Linden by Phoebe Judson from the poem Hohenlinden, which was written by T. Campbell. In Judson's book, A Pioneer's Search for the Ideal Home, she changed the spelling of Linden to Lynden, because she liked how it looked instead.
Lynden is located in broad fertile valley and is well suited for farming. The Nooksack River winds along the southern area of Lynden on its way to Ferndale and eventually it's mouth empties into nearby Bellingham Bay. Surrounding the 
entire area of Lynden is some of the finest sandy loam soils used to farm raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and many other fruits and vegetable products. Washington state accounts for nearly 60 % of the U.S. production of red raspberries, at nearly 70,000,000 pounds per year. 90% of the raspberries grown in the state come from the rich sandy-loam soils of Whatcom County. The Lynden area is also one of the top producing areas for dairy farming as well.
The region saw significant Dutch immigration in the early and mid 1900s, spurring the growth of dairies. Today, Lynden's Dutch heritage can be seen through out it's downtown area, and many locations such along Front street. Downtown Lynden has been made-over with a Dutch theme, complete with its own windmill. Downtown you'll find a Dutch bakery, Dutch restaurants and numerous antiques stores. Local supermarkets contain Dutch food sections, and Dutch is still spoken by some of the town's residents.
The area of Lynden is known for its manicured lawns, strong Dutch heritage and architecture, raspberry and farming community, and the abundance of Reformed churches. A Dutch festival is held each spring complete with a parade, street sweeping, and "klompen" (wooden shoe) dances. In the middle of August, the Northwest Washington Fair is attended by thousands. Local Whatcom County residents also compete in competition for many arts and crafts displays, baked goods, agricultural products, and many farm animal contests as well.
Lynden is well known for the amount of churches per square mile and per capita, in fact they once held the world record.
