Clinton County History

Clinton County in the north easternmost corner of New York State bordering Canada on the north and Lake Champlain on the east borders the great invasion route, the Kyber Pass of the North American Continent. This north-south route: this depression in the Appalachian Chain between the rich coastal plain of the Atlantic Seaboard and the arterial St Lawrence and Great Lakes giving access to the heart of the American Continent is just one half mile off our shores. Geography predestines the history of an area and our geographical location has given our Clinton County a heritage in historical events that shaped the early United States of America.
