Clinton
county was
named in honor of DeWitt Clinton. The
surface of the county is level,
excepting along the Wild cat, in the southwest corner. There is no
barren or waste lands in the county. In the south-western portion is
the twelve mile prairie. There are one or two other small prairies in
the county, but, with the exception of these, and the one first named,
all the balance of the surface was originally covered with a dense and
heavy forest, containing an abundance of timber of a fine quality. The
soil of the county may be termed alluvial, with a clay bottom. All the
grains and grasses indigenous to the West can be produced in this
county with profit. It is, perhaps, especially adapted to the
cultivation of hay and for pasturage. Generally speaking it is one of
the best farming counties in Indiana. As a proof of this, it may be
mentioned that it is quite thickly settled with an intelligent, wealthy
class of farmers, who have grown up to independence with the growth of
the county.
Frankfort is the county seat. The section of country from which this
young city derives its trade, is one of the best agricultural sections
in the West. It already has a population of over three thousand, and is
steadily progressing in all its industries. Its schools are excellent,
supported by first class talent, and provided with commodious buildings
The city has very good railroad facilities, and has all the elements of
future prosperity which are being rapidly developed.
