Lindsay is a city in Garvin County, Oklahoma, United States.
[5] Lindsay was founded in January 1902, when the Kiowa, Chickasha and Fort Smith Railway (an affiliate of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe) and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad companies were linking their lines halfway between Chickasha and Pauls Valley, a project completed in 1903.
[9] At the time of its founding, Lindsay was located in Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation.
Oklahoma State Highway 19 passes through the center of town as Cherokee Street, leading east (downriver) 11 miles (18 km) to Maysville and northwest (generally upstream) 28 miles (45 km) to Chickasha.
34.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 21.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
