Linwood is a city in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the city's population was 6,971,[9][10] a decrease of 121 (−1.7%) from the 2010 census count of 7,092,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 80 (−1.1%) from the 7,172 counted in the 2000 census.[21]
Linwood was originally incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 20, 1889, from portions of Egg Harbor Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day. Linwood was reincorporated as a city on April 27, 1931.[22] The area had been called Leedsville until 1880, when a post office was being established. The United States Postal Service insisted that the name had to be changed as it conflicted with an existing post office elsewhere in the state. Among the names proposed and considered by local residents were "Brinola", "Geneva", "Pearville" and "Viola", with "Linwood" ultimately chosen.[23]
Geographically, the city, and all of Atlantic County, is part of the South Jersey region of the state and of the Atlantic City-Hammonton metropolitan statistical area, which in turn is included in the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[24]

"There being a post office by the same name in the northern part of the state, the Federal authorities required Leedsville (Linwood) to change its name.... But yet another name must be chosen from the similarity of the abbreviations N. Y. and N. J., the officials at Washington called for another name. Linwood was the name chosen."
