About Clinton

Clinton is the East Feliciana Parish seat, founded in 1824 on high ground near Pretty Creek after the parish split in two. Three donated lots set aside space for a courthouse, a spring that still flows, and a jail. The 1840 courthouse remains in use and stands beside Lawyer's Row, a reminder of the town's long legal role. The Clinton and Port Hudson Railroad later made the place a cotton-trading center. Clinton is inland Louisiana with a courthouse, a spring, and a town plan built around both.
