Early in the year 1801 settlers were attracted to the rich lands lying along the south side of the Susquehanna River opposite what is now the Village of Linden, and Anthony Moore, Thomas and Andrew Miller, Alexander Beatty and others settled there.

Linden is the only village, although there is a small settlement at Level Corner. A postoffice was established at Level Corner, April 18, 1832, with James Russell Barr as the first postmaster. It was subsequently removed to the tavern of William Maffet, a short distance further east, and later the name was changed to Linden.
