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