Established 1784
In 1784 Richard Clinton deeded five acres to commissioners for use for the public buildings of the new county of Sampson. The community that flourished in this vicinity came to be known as Sampson Courthouse. The N.C. 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.| HM Number | HM25O0 |
