The population was 4,191 at the 2010 census.<ref name="Census 2010">{{cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/G001/1600000US1346580| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Census Summary File 1 (G001), Lindale CDP, Georgia| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau| work=American FactFinder| access-date=April 28, 2016| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200213044442/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/G001/1600000US1346580| archive-date=February 13, 2020| url-status=dead}}</ref>

==History==
A post office called Lindale has been in operation since 1883.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=GA&county=Floyd | title=Floyd County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | access-date=25 April 2015}}</ref> The name Lindale might have been selected from a novel a resident had read.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=IP4vAAAAIBAJ&sjid=2jsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4175%2C444767 | title=Floyd County| work=Calhoun Times | date=September 1, 2004 | access-date=24 April 2015 | pages=69}}</ref>

Throughout the 20th century, the community formed around the [[Lindale Mill|Lindale Textile Mill]] located in the center of the community. Since the early part of the 21st century, the building is abandoned. The Mill was owned by the [[WestPoint Home|West Point-Pepperell]] for the majority of its existence, leading to the Lindale community to be commonly referred to as "Pepperell". The local schools, which are part of the [[Floyd County School District|Floyd County School System]], are named after the mill and use the West Point-Pepperell (currently [[WestPoint Home]]) Gryphon as the mascot, under the name "Pepperell Dragons".
