History
A post office called Lindale has been in operation since 1883. The name Lindale might have been selected from a novel a resident had read.
Throughout the 20th century, the community formed around the 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 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 System, are named after the mill and use the West Point-Pepperell (currently WestPoint Home) Gryphon as the mascot, under the name "Pepperell Dragons".
