Linden is a small village in the Blue Mountains of NSW, noted for its rich history, small population, and unique heritage sites. History Originally called Seventeen Mile Hollow due to its distance from the Nepean River, Linden became a significant waypoint for travelers crossing the mountains in the 1800s. A toll house and gates were erected here in 1849, but removed when the railway arrived in the 1860s. The village was named for Linden Lodge, a historic residence built by businessman William Henderson, and the railway station opened in 1874. Notable heritage sites include Caley’s Repulse, a stone cairn marking the turning point of explorer George Caley; King’s Cave, a large rock shelter possibly used by soldiers and early travelers. Population Linden is the least populated of the Blue Mountains villages served by a railway station, with a small, dispersed community of well under 500 residents. Attractions Among Linden’s distinctive attractions are bushwalks to heritage sites like Caley’s Repulse, King’s Cave, and the remnant Cox’s Road. Paradise Pool is a secluded, scenic swimming hole popular with locals. The Linden Observatory offers astronomy nights for the public (when it's open).
