Linton near Ballarat, Victoria, Australia  |
- Linton is a town in Victoria, Australia, off Glenelg Highway. Most of the town is located in Golden Plains Shire; however, a small section is in the Shire of Pyrenees
History
Linton was first settled about 1840 and was named after a pioneer family in an area.
Gold was found in 1848 in what later became known as Linton's Diggings. Chinese people, among others, mined the local shafts until the gold ran out. The miners remained in the area and set up market gardens. The Post Office opened on 5 November 1857 as Linton's and was renamed Linton around 1860.[2] Much mining equipment can still be found in the Linton district.
