Town of Clinton

Established 1784

In 1784 Richard Clinton deeded five acres to the commissioners for use for the public buildings of the county of Sampson. The community that flourished in this vicinity came to be know as Sampson Courthouse. The North Carolina General Assembly in 1818 authorized a town to be laid out called Clinton Courthouse. By the time of incorporation in 1822, it was known as Clinton."
