History

The village of Linnville or Linntown came to be in the second half of the nineteenth century. Named for the Linn family who owned several farms on the south side of the Lewisburg-Mifflinburg turnpike (present-day Route 45), it originally consisted of just a few houses on the north side of the turnpike. Arrival of the railroad stimulated commercial ventures such as the Kulp Lumber Mill and the Lewisburg Chair Factory (1887, forerunner of Pennsylvania House). Linntown saw large population growth when the Linn farms were developed into residential building lots in the 1920s.
