Linden, Christian County, Missouri

Linden is an unincorporated community in northern Christian County, Missouri United States.[1] It is located approximately 4.5 miles northwest of Sparta on Route 125, where the highway crosses the Finley Creek. The river has been dammed, creating a small lake, Lake Lindenlure, just east of Route 125.[2]

Linden is part of the Springfield, Missouri Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The community's name is a transfer from Linden, Tennessee.[3] A variant name was "Kenton".[1] A post office called Kenton was established in 1860, and remained in operation until 1911.[4]
