It was named for then-head of the company, Thomas Lynch. By the 1940s, Lynch had a population of 10,000 and had such amenities as a hospital and movie theater.


The population declined dramatically in the 1960s and 1970s as mining techniques shifted to less labor-intensive methods. In 1996, the rails to Lynch and nearby Benham were officially abandoned. In 2012, PBS of Eastern Tennessee created a documentary titled The Eastern Kentucky Social Club dealing with the history of the black community and immigrant community in Lynch.
