Clinton County History
Named in honor of DeWitt Clinton—New York’s former governor and a leading supporter of the Erie Canal—Clinton County was established on December 21, 1837. Settlement in the area began earlier, in 1835, when Elijah Buell constructed a log cabin. Growth came quickly: the county’s first newspaper appeared in 1854, and the Lyons Female College welcomed students in 1858. Additional historical details can be found on the county’s Wikipedia page.
