A Historical Linden Perspective

The Mennonite farmers that first settled in Linden Alberta in the mid 1930’s brought a sense of optimism, a work ethic and a rich cultural and spiritual tradition that still exists today. It was this spirit that led to the founding of a cheese factory in the Depression era that gained national status for its quality cheese. Shortly afterthat venture, an equally successful trading Co-op was founded. These early experiences set the tone of co-operation, combined with hard work that is still an important part of Linden’s business community today.

Linden was incorporated into a village in 1964 with 264 residents. This has more than doubled today. Over the years new business and new residents have continued to move in to enjoy all the benefits and natural beauty that Linden has to offer.
