History
In 1850, John Rose laid out the original town of Linda, which was located near Hammonton, at the furthest upstream point on the Yuba River where boats were able to navigate. He had bought the land from Michael C. Nye and named the town after a boat called the Linda. It lasted only two years before being abandoned, and was buried under mine tailings during the Gold Rush. It remains buried to this day, and is often underwater during the winter.
