==Geography==

The northern border of Clinton is the [[Weber County, Utah|Weber County]] line, with the city of [[Hooper, Utah|Hooper]] to the northwest and [[Roy, Utah|Roy]] to the north and northeast. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], Clinton has a total area of {{convert|15.1|sqkm|order=flip}}, all land.<ref name="Census 2010"/>

==History==
The area, then part of Layton, was settled in the 1870’s by James Hill and his family.  Early settlers used it to graze their animals but, even though the land was fertile, culinary water had to be hauled in from the Weber River.

The area was commonly called The Range, Sand Ridge, The Basin and The Summit.  The first school was built in 1885 just south of the cemetery. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://clintoncity.net/2307/History | title=History &#124; Clinton City, UT }}</ref>

Dry farming began in the area of Clinton in 1879. By 1881 there was a railroad station. In 1884 the Summit Basin Branch of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] was organized in Clinton.<ref>Jenson, Andrew. ''Encyclopedic History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'' (Salt Lake City: Deseret News Press, 1941) p. 149</ref>

The first ward in Clinton was organized on May 29, 1897. It was called 'The Clinton Ward'.<ref>Jenson. ''Encyclopedic History''. p. 149</ref>

Clinton would not become an official town until 1936, and its growth was relatively small until the 1960’s.

In 1950, the total population of Clinton City was only 670 and it would be 19 years before the city even established its own police department.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://clintoncity.net/2307/History | title=History &#124; Clinton City, UT }}</ref>
