History
Linnell Camp originated as one of the Migratory Labor Camps that were built in the 1930s by the Farm Security Administration. Whilst these camps were intended to improve living conditions, the residents were still housed in rudimentary shacks decades later, and confronted with rising rents, which led to the Tulare labor camps rent strike in 1965.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP covers an area of 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2), all of it land.
