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". [4] A post office called Kenton was established in 1860, and remained in operation until 1911. [5]
