Linden is a city in southeastern Union County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It forms part of the New York Metropolitan Area, lying about 13 miles southwest of Manhattan and bordering Staten Island, a borough of New York City, across the Arthur Kill. Linden was originally established as a township on 4 March 1861 from portions of Elizabeth, Rahway and Union Township. Parts of the township were later used to create Cranford (14 March 1871), Linden Borough (30 March 1882) and Roselle (20 December 1894). Linden was incorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on 1 January 1925, replacing both Linden Township and Linden Borough, following a referendum held on 8 November 1923. The city’s name comes from linden trees brought over from Germany.
