Name and history

Lynn Township was established in 1857. [4] The township's name most likely comes from the linden trees which were once abundant there, although a share of the pioneer settlers had the last name Lynn. [5] It is the only Lynn Township statewide. [6] According to his obituary, Sgt John Wesley Flinn (1823-1901) built the first cabin after the township was organized in 1859.
