From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linden is an extinct hamlet in northwestern Atchison County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.
Linden was the original county seat of Atchison County.[1] A variant name was Magnet.[2] In 1846, the town was platted,[3] and a post office was established called Linden; it closed in 1871. The post office was reestablished as Magnet in 1880, and was discontinued in 1900.[4] An 1882 map depicts both Linden and Magnet.[5] The present name is for linden trees near the original town site.[6] The population in 1915 was about 30.[7]
