Clinton is a city in Henry County, Missouri, United States. The population was 9,174 at the 2020 census. It is the county seat of Henry County.[4]

History

Clinton was laid out in 1836.[5] The city was named for New York Governor DeWitt Clinton, a key promoter of the Erie Canal.[6][7] A post office called Clinton has been in operation since 1850.[8] The railroad reached Clinton in 1870, when the Census put the population at 840.[9]

Clinton was incorporated as the least-populous type of city in Missouri, a fourth-class city, in 1878. All but one voter voted in favor of incorporation. Resident Banton G. Boone, a Democrat, was Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives, 1875–1877, and Missouri Attorney General, 1885–1889.[9]

Piped water, electricity, and macadam roads were brought in during the 1880s, and a telephone system in the 1890s.[9]

In 1905, Clinton and the rest of Henry County held two separate votes on prohibition of alcohol. Clinton's vote was against prohibition, while the rest of the county voted in favor, creating two separate legal regimes. In 1909, another such local option vote in Clinton gave the same result, against prohibition.[9]

The town square, the focal point of the Clinton Square Historic District, has been the site of various disasters. In 1876, a fire burned down a number of buildings on the square. The cause is believed to have been arson.[9] On June 26, 2006, a building there collapsed while an Elks Lodge meeting was taking place, leading to the death of the Lodge's leader, Tony Komer. Nine people were pulled from the rubble, while the rest left on their own power.[10] In the Olde Glory Days parade, which occurred less than one week after the accident, Komer was memorialized and Elk's Lodge members from many parts of Western Missouri marched to show their support for the Clinton Lodge.

In addition to the Historic District overall, the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association Building, William F. and Julia Crome House, Judge Jerubial Gideon Dorman House, Gustave C. Haysler House, and C.C. Williams House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[11]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 9.26 square miles (23.98 km2), of which 9.14 square miles (23.67 km2) is land and 0.12 square miles (0.31 km2) is water.[12]

The downtown square serves as a center for community commerce and public affairs. Several state highways intersect at Clinton, including Routes 13 and 7, making Clinton a popular stop on the Springfield-Kansas City Route.

On September 12, 2007, the Tour of Missouri bicycle race began stage 2 from Clinton.[21] The initial take off began from the historic downtown square, and ended in Springfield.

Clinton lies at the western terminus of the Katy Trail, a 225-mile long state park used by cyclists, runners and horseback riders. The rail trail is built on the path of the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, which was abandoned between Clinton and Sedalia in 1989. The former Katy railroad from Clinton south to Nevada is still operated by the Missouri and Northern Arkansas Railroad (Genesee & Wyoming). The city is also situated near Truman Lake, which is widely known for its excellent boating, fishing, camping, and other related activities. Clinton is also home to two of the area's 18-hole golf courses.

Clinton is home to two radio stations: KDKD-FM, which plays country music and KXEA, which plays hot adult contemporary music. KDKD-AM, Clinton's oldest radio station that first went on-air May 11, 1951, specialized in agricultural programming and ceased operations on December 31, 2021. The stations returned to local ownership in 2018 after Clayton and Brittany Radford founded Radford Media Group LLC and purchased the three stations from Portland-based broadcasting company Alpha Media for $250,000.[22] The transmitter for KXEA is located in Lowry City, Missouri, however, the two stations are operated under the same roof in Clinton.

Transportation
