Editing Lindsay, Cooke County, Texas (section)

==History==
In 1887, the [[Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad]] constructed a line from [[Gainesville, Texas|Gainesville]] to [[Henrietta, Texas|Henrietta]] that passed through the site that would become Lindsay. The story of its founding closely resembles that of its neighbors along the railway such as [[Muenster, Texas|Muenster]]. In 1891, Anton and August Flusche arranged for transfer of {{convert|9300|acre|km2}} along the railway to found a new town, which they named after a local judge. They attracted several [[German people|German]] [[Catholic]] settlers in the following years.

The date of Lindsay's founding is officially recognized as March 25, 1892, when the first mass was held; however, Lindsay was not formally incorporated until 1959.

The city has maintained some German traditions, including an annual [[Oktoberfest]]. As is typical in the region, the main industries are farming, principally [[dairy farming]], and oil production.
