Lindendale is an unincorporated community in Kendall County, Texas, United States, on Ranch to Market Road 1888.
The community was first settled in the 1860s. [1] The community was originally Mountain Glen, but the name was changed for unknown reasons. [2] The Handbook of Texas states that the community was named for "the linden trees that grew along the Blanco River", [1] while a 1954 newspaper article noted there were no linden trees present at the site of the community. [2] The Lindendale School originated with a log cabin on a piece of land donated by one J. C. Hoge, and it served as the school for the community until either 1951 [1] or 1949, after which it consolidated into the Blanco Independent School District. The closure of the school came about after transportation improvements spurred on by the Gilmer-Aiken Act. [2] Located in Kendall County on Ranch to Market Road 1888, the community is 24 miles (39 km) northeast of Boerne. [1]
