The colonial Germans chose Lindi as the administrative headquarters. The Custom House and store for the German East Africa Company were built close to the remains of a fort. Many of the buildings from the colonial period have fallen into partial ruin although the police station is still in use.

Lindi was also home to an Asian community, who traded in grain, sisal and cashew nuts, and there are several examples of Asian-inspired architecture.
