=== McMinnville campus ===
Linfield's primary location in [[McMinnville, Oregon]], moved to its present location in 1881. The original location was at 5th and C Street closer to downtown McMinnville. From a marker on the present campus: "...The board of Trustees met on August 2, 1881 and took action which resulted in moving (McMinnville) Linfield College from 5th & C streets to its present location, actuated by the gift of Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Cozine."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Back, and Forth: For centenary reasons, '22 a Linfield landmark |url=http://newsregister.com/article?articleId=42691 |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=newsregister.com | date=March 19, 2022 |language=en}}</ref> [[Pioneer Hall, Linfield College|Pioneer Hall]], the oldest building at Linfield University, opened in 1883 and is [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Yamhill County, Oregon|listed on the National Register of Historic Places]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oregon Historic Sites Database |url=http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/ |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=heritagedata.prd.state.or.us}}</ref>

In the late 1990s, the institution acquired a former [[Hewlett-Packard]] property adjacent to the McMinnville campus, which more than doubled the size of the campus and opened new opportunities for the school.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Henberg |first=Marv |title=Inspired Pragmatism: An illustrated history of Linfield College |publisher=Carpe Diem Books |year=2007 |isbn=978-0-9713555-2-1}}</ref>

=== Portland campus ===
Linfield's presence in Portland, Oregon, began in 1982. In response to a national trend for nursing education to be a part of colleges and universities, the Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing became the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing under the auspices of Linfield College.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

Founded by [[Emily L. Loveridge|Emily Loveridge]] in 1890, the Good Samaritan Hospital Diploma School of Nursing was the first school of nursing in the Northwest. Loveridge served Good Samaritan Hospital for 40 years and is considered a pioneer in nursing. The Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing remains the longest running nursing school in the Northwest.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
