Lynnwood was officially incorporated on April 23, 1959, from a larger unincorporated area called Alderwood Manor. The area was originally platted, developed, and sold as 1-acre (4,000 m2) lots designed for raising chickens. Even today you can see many of the original 80 year old homes that were the chicken ranches, and old buildings.
The name 'Lynnwood' comes from a developer from Seattle who planned to build something at Highway 99 and Alderwood Road (now 196th ST SW). He named the building 'Lynn' for his wife and 'wood' for Alderwood. Many other stores around took the name Lynnwood and were known as the Lynnwood Business District.
