The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Lindy was established late in the state's history. The townsite was surveyed in 1928, in response to demand for a local marketing and shopping center. Development was further encouraged by a rumor, which later proved unfounded, suggesting that a railroad line might be built through the area. The new town was named after Charles Lindbergh, nicknamed "Lucky Lindy", who the year before had made his celebrated non-stop solo flight from New York to Paris.

Nothing in Lindy is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Lindy has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Congregational Church and Manse in Santee, 8.7 miles away.
