Alvin Wood (1831–1891) was an early settler in the area that is now the north central part of Jefferson County, Kentucky. He is credited with naming the community of Lyndon, Kentucky, in 1871. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad bordered his land, and Wood built a depot so travelers could catch the train without having to go to Gilman's Point, several miles away. Wood named the depot "Lyndon" for "Linn's Station," a pioneer fort on nearby Beargrass Creek, built in 1779. Wood affected a portion of the city of Louisville by setting in motion the events that led to the development of the area now known as Lyndon.
