Lindytown is accessible from Boone County Route 26, which is located  off  West Virginia Route 85 at the Van Bridge split.The community has also been known as "Robin Hood" to locals, due to the former Armco Robin Hood Division Coal Operations mines, which were located in the area. Armco sold the Robinhood Division to Peabody Coal and eventually the mines were closed and the land was reclaimed.Lindytown has received much media attention due to the town's proximity to a large mountain-top removal operation owned by Alpha Natural Resources (previously Massey Energy).
