   Clinton County History

     Clinton County was created in 1831 and organized in 1839.  It was named after the New York Governor DeWitt Clinton.  The first county seat was DeWitt, but after the establishment of St. Johns it was moved there in 1857.   The photo to the left is the old Clinton County Courthouse in St. Johns.
