In the 1970 census, Lindon had a total population of 1,644 persons. It is estimated that the population has since doubled reaching over 3,200. Lindon had very little industrial or commercial development until recently. However, city officials recognize industry as an advantage and are actively seeking to promote this aspect of city growth with appropriate control and planning. According to Bill Green. Lindon's building inspector, one of the major changes in the city is the increase in physical size. In 1770, Lindon's land area included 2,354 acres. With four annexations during the 1970s, the total acreage of the city is now 3,725 acres, ar. increase of 1,371 acres. Over 20 subdivisions began construction during the last decade. With the increase in size and population has come an increase in the police force. LaMar Jolley, chief of police, stated in 1970 the Lindon Police Department employed of two men, Kenneth Harris and Carl e Wilkinson. Now the department employ five officers and a secretary. City Councilman Orval Mechara said the IDS Church has also grown from one to five wards in 10 yean. He said the new chapel will be dedicated in February of this year, and the church has purchased property for another building near the Horseshoe Creek subdivision. Another change which most residents welcomed is the remodeling of the Lindon Elementary School. An addition to the building will double classroom space. An additional major improvement to the city was a sewer system installed during 1976-7When asked about goals for the next 10 years, city administrator, Mark Palesh, stated his desire to have a city where the tax base places a heavier emphasis on revenue from sales tax rather than on property taxes. To accomplish this, city officials have placed emphasis on sound planning. This may encourage industry and business in a manner which will protect residential properties and retain a rural atmosphere. Palesh stated that those individuals who want to get involved in the development of Lindon can contact either himself or Mayor Tyler Rogers. The Community Progress Committee has been established in which citizens can actively participate in the development of their community, strengthen their own character through service and personally build the world in which their children will live. Projects that are already in the initial development stages are a city cemetery, city hall complex and volunteer fire department. Some of the characteristics that attract people to live in Lindon include its location near larger cities and acreages which allow residents to keep large animals that less rural communities would prohibit. "The History of Lindon" on file at the Lindon City Hall gives an account of how Lindon got its name. "In 1861, the younger men and women began moving south from Pleasant Grove to settle the herd ground, which later became known as our present Lindon," the history says. "Because the early pioneers constructed their houses in a long string which stretched out on both sides of what is now the busy Highway 91, Lindon was first called 'Stringtown.' It stretched from Pleasant Grove as far south as the top of the Lindon Hill. As more settlers came, they built their homes east of "Stringtown" in what was known as the Basin. "On September 25, 1889, a petition was sent to the government to obtain a Post Office. The town had to have an appropriate name, and a group of people from the Pleasant Grove Second Ward, to which the people of Lindon belonged, submitted the name of Linden and was accepted by the government. The name of Linden was chosen because of an old linden tree that was a landmark for this particular arei. On March 5, 1924, at a meeting to elect the first town president and Board of Trustees, the motion was made to change the spelling of the town from Linden to Lindon. The motion carried." full-tim- :jpj ;: HrBiro Gnuusoe 0 0 0 Q) IT(g!fil USU Library (00. - Mats 4 on-sit- nt if kind 01 Inspection Rates The Utah State University Merrill LOGAN unLibrary's government documents depository 1979 and has during federal inspection derwent received excellent ratings in all nine areas examined. federal According to Karlo K.
