    History

    In the 1860s, Clinton was known as a key stop along the Cariboo Wagon Road during the Cariboo Gold Rush. Its locale made it an important staging point for miners, freight wagons, and travellers heading north, and it quickly grew into a busy service centre with hotels, supply stores, and transport operations supporting movement through the region.

    As gold activity declined, the community shifted toward ranching, agriculture, and serving surrounding rural properties. Its role as a service stop along Highway 97 helped maintain steady activity over time, and many of the original buildings and layout still reflect its early roots as a transportation and supply hub.
