History
The townsite was originally laid out in 1850 and originally called Olivehurst by John Rose at the furthest navigable point on the Yuba River, on the south bank above Marysville.[3] The town at that site lasted only two years before moving to its present location.[3] The original site is buried under tailings from hydraulic mining.[3]
Speckert Lumber and Diamond International operated a sawmill in Linda from 1937 to 1984.[7]
In 1986, some of the property owners sued the state for damages following the collapse of a levee.[8]
