About Clinton

Set right in the heart of central Illinois, Clinton is a welcoming small town of about 7,000 residents that serves as the seat of DeWitt County. Situated midway between Bloomington and Decatur along Route 51, it offers a relaxed pace of life with great outdoor recreation close at hand, particularly boating and fishing on Clinton Lake and the wooded trails at Weldon Springs State Park.

Daily life centers around a historic courthouse square, local schools, and a friendly community atmosphere. Every autumn, the town welcomes visitors from across the region for the popular Apple 'n Pork Festival at the C.H. Moore Homestead. Residents have convenient access to local care at Warner Hospital and essential neighborhood businesses in town, while broader job markets, major retail, and universities in Bloomington-Normal, Decatur, and Champaign are all an easy drive away.
