The village was originally established as Lyndon Station (named for the town it resides in) when the Milwaukee and Northern Railway Company laid their tracks through in 1871. Starting in Milwaukee by 1873 the line had reached Green Bay, Wi. On June 20, 1890 the line was acquired by the Milwaukee Road (Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul and Pacific Railroad) operating as the Green Bay Sub. The section between Milwaukee and Plymouth, Wi is currently operated by the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad and is used as a secondary freight only line serving local industry, as the Plymouth Sub.
