Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Lindale, TX

Lindale was founded in 1871, when Elijah Lindsey opened the community's first general store ahead of the coming railroad and was elected the town's first mayor a year later; the city incorporated in 1905.

Lindale grew up around the railroad line built between Tyler and Mineola, and the International-Great Northern Railroad's arrival in the mid-1870s launched a fruit and vegetable canning industry in town.

Lindale carries the nickname "Blackberry Capital of the World," and sweet local blackberries remain its signature crop.

Lindale's population reached 6,059 in the 2020 census, more than double its 2,954 residents in 2000, and the census counted 2,255 households in the city.

Lindale is the hometown of Grammy Award-winning country music star Miranda Lambert, who grew up there and placed third on the television show Nashville Star before her career took off.

Lambert opened her Pink Pistol boutique on East Hubbard Street in Lindale in 2013, and it draws tens of thousands of her fans to town each year.

Miranda Lambert's family runs Red 55 Winery in Lindale, established in 2006 and named for her first truck, a candy-apple-red 1955 Chevy stepside.

Lindale was the fifth community in Texas to earn the Texas Music Office's official Texas Music Friendly Community designation, reflecting its outsized live-music scene.

The Old Mill Pond Museum in Lindale preserves a century of local history across 20 acres, with 14 historic buildings and hundreds of artifacts.

Lindale sits at the crossroads of Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 69, about 13 miles northwest of Tyler, and is part of the Tyler metropolitan area.
