History
It was first mentioned in 970 as Liendna. It may refer to the linden tree (Tilia), however the etymology is unclear.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/lienden |title=Lienden - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=21 March 2022 |language=nl}} The village originated along the Oude Rijn, however the river became non-navigable around 1200. The Dutch Reformed Church was built around 1400, and the tower dates from 1450.{{cite web|url=https://dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0138.php |title=Lienden |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |page=221 |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=20 March 2022}} In 1840, it was home to 829 people.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/lienden |title=Lienden |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=21 March 2022 |language=nl}}
