When the name Stranger became a problem for the Postal Service. who confused Stranger with a nearby community also named Stranger (referred to as "Big" Stranger), it was renamed '''Linwood''' on December 20, 1877. Legend has it that one day when the citizens were cutting wood for the church, [[William W. Loring#Antebellum years|Colonel Loring]] suggested they change the name to Linwood, because of the many [[Tilia americana|linden]] trees that grew in the area.

Harris because of his great appreciation for the Linden trees that were abundant in the vicinity of Stranger Creek.<ref name=":0" />
