Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Lindsay, TX

Lindsay is a primarily German Catholic city in Cooke County, located along U.S. Route 82 west of Gainesville.

In 1891, Anton and August Flusche arranged the transfer of thousands of acres along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad to found a new German Catholic colony town.

Lindsay was named after J. M. Lindsay, a local judge who contracted the land to the Flusche brothers for the colony.

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

Lindsay's St. Peter's Catholic Church is a Texas historical site; the church built in 1903 was almost completely destroyed by a tornado on May 31, 1917, and parishioners rebuilt an even more ambitious church that was finished in the autumn of 1918.

Lindsay has maintained German traditions, including an annual Oktoberfest, and German is the largest reported ancestry in the city at roughly 48 percent of residents.

Farming, principally dairy farming, and oil production are the main industries around Lindsay.

The 2020 census counted 1,045 residents in Lindsay, up from 788 in 2000, and the 2000 census recorded 267 households in the city.

Lindsay covers about 1.6 square miles of land in the geographic center of Cooke County.

Lindsay is served by the Lindsay Independent School District, whose Lindsay Knights football team has competed since the team's inauguration in 1960.
