==History==
Linn is first mentioned around 1303-08 as ''ze Linne''. In 1307 it was mentioned as ''ze Lind''.<ref name=HDS/> The name is probably connected with the 500-800-year-old, legendary [[Linden]] tree which is east of of Linn. In the [[Middle Ages]] it probably belonged to the [[vogt]]ei of [[Elfingen]]. In 1460 it was incorporated as part of the court of [[Bözberg]] in the [[Canton of Bern]].

Initially, its inhabitants were part of the Elfingen-Bözen [[parish]], and after 1649 the Bözberg parish. Before the Reformation in 1528, it possessed a chapel.

Agriculture was the major economic activity up into the middle of the 19th Century. Due to declining opportunities in the mid-19th Century, many of the farming families migrated away. By the end of the 20th Century there were seven farms, while most other workers in the region were working in Brugg. Since the 1990s, Linn has been accessible by [[Postauto]].<ref name=HDS/>
