Welcome to Clinton County, Pennsylvania your gateway to the Pennsylvania Wilds and the PA Lumber Heritage Region. This brochure is your personal guided driving tour to Clinton County's rich history. So, let's get started!  Clinton County was formed by an Act of Legislature in 1839 from portions of Lycoming and Centre Counties. It is primarily an Agricultural County and supports a large population of Amish. The county seat is Lock Haven. It was named after Governor DeWitt Clinton, the Governor of New York, who worked with Jerry Church, founder of Lock Haven, to bring the extensive canal system to Clinton County.
