Lindberg, Washington

Last updated

Lindberg is an extinct town in Lewis County, in the U.S. state of Washington. The GNIS lists location as unknown, [1] however period maps (1920-1930 census districts) show Lindberg on State Route 7, about three miles north of the U.S. Route 12 junction, where the East Fork Tilton River joins Tilton River. [2]

Background

A post office called Lindberg was established in 1911, and remained in operation until 1925. [3] While pushing through the last leg of the Tacoma Eastern Railroad from Ashford (1904) to Morton (1910), they established a station at the crossing of East Fork Tilton River called Glenavon. [2] [4] In 1911, Gustaf Lindberg, established a logging camp and company town near the Glenavon station, [5] which in addition to the logging camp included a shingle mill and saw mill. Due to financial difficulties, Lindberg lost his property in the mid 1920s, but the camp continued with the name Lindberg & Hoby Logging Camp into the 1940s. [6] As of 1928, there were two train stops bracketing Lindberg, East Fork (formerly Glenavon) to the north and Coal Canyon to the south, the latter name eventually replaced Lindberg. [2] [7] The area shows few signs of the logging operation, but both sides of the road through this section are dotted with houses and businesses, all which bare a Morton address, though they are outside Morton town limits.
