Lynden is one of the few cities in the world whose main entrance is between two cemeteries.[citation needed] At one time, Lynden held the world record for most churches per square mile and per capita, although that is unsubstantiated. That title currently goes to Wheaton, Ill.[citation needed] Due to the town's large population of those who attend or are members of Lynden's many churches[citation needed], the town has had a long tradition of most businesses closing on Sunday. In recent years, businesses have started to open on Sundays, as in other communities, but the area remains mostly unchanged. A law prohibiting Sunday alcohol sales that was on the books for 41 years was repealed on October 20, 2008, due to changes in the population thinking concerning this matter as well.
