Clinton grew at a crossroads. Settlers cleared the first land here in 1831, and the spot was known as The Corners or Rattenbury Corner until William Rattenbury laid out a village in 1844; the name honours Sir Henry Clinton of Peninsular War fame. The Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway added a stop in 1858, and Clinton became a town in 1875. Today the same crossing carries Highway 4 (Victoria Street), which ends here at Highway 8 (Huron and Ontario streets), and in 2001 the town merged with Goderich and Hullett townships to form Central Huron.
Two pieces of history still shape how Clinton describes itself. The municipality calls it "Canada's Home of Radar" after the RCAF training station of the Second World War. And in Sloman Memorial Park at 76 Victoria Terrace sits the CNR School on Wheels, a railcar classroom that teacher Fred Sloman and his wife Cela took along the line between Capreol and Foleyet in Northern Ontario from 1926; he taught from it for 39 years, and the car came home to Clinton in 1982.
Mostly built before 1980. In the 2021 Census 55% of occupied homes in the Clinton population centre were built in 1960 or earlier and another 28% between 1961 and 1980, while only about 6% date from 2001 or later. About 70% are single-detached houses, roughly 71% of households own, and condominiums are rare. Expect older houses far more often than new construction.
Clinton has elementary and secondary schools from both English-language boards. The Avon Maitland District School Board runs Clinton Public School (JK to Grade 8) at 27 Percival Street and Central Huron Secondary School (Grades 9 to 12) at 165 Princess Street East. The Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board runs St. Joseph's Catholic School at 297 Smith Street North and St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School (Grades 9 to 12) at 353 Ontario Street. Boundaries and busing change, so confirm any address with the Huron Perth Student Transportation Services locator.
Clinton Community Park at 95 Park Lane is the main gathering spot, with two playgrounds, a skate park, a splash pad and a pavilion looking straight onto the Clinton Raceway horse track. On the south edge of town, Clinton Conservation Area at 77960 London Road follows the Bayfield River on a 2 km trail through successional forest and a white pine plantation. Indoors, the Central Huron Community Centre at 239 Bill Fleming Drive has an arena with an NHL-sized ice pad and walking track, a community hall and the Central Huron YMCA.
Clinton Public Hospital at 98 Shipley Street is one of the four hospitals of the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance, which staffs emergency medicine there. The library branch is at 27 Albert Street South, next to the Town Hall auditorium at 23 Albert Street. Highway 8 heads west to Goderich and east through Seaforth toward Stratford, and Highway 4 runs south through Hensall to Exeter.
Lots near the Bayfield River or its tributaries can fall inside the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority's regulated area under Ontario Regulation 41/24, so ask ABCA about any river-edge property before you firm up an offer. Agriculture dominates the rest of Central Huron, and a country lot there may rely on a private well and septic system, so test the water and inspect the system. If you are selling in town, our home evaluation starts from these same local details.

Not any more. Since 2001 Clinton has been the main town in the Municipality of Central Huron, alongside the hamlets of Holmesville, Londesborough and Auburn.
The 2021 Census counted 3,113 people in the Clinton population centre. All of Central Huron had 7,799.
Yes. Clinton Public Hospital on Shipley Street is part of the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance with the hospitals in Seaforth, St. Marys and Stratford.
Because of the RCAF training station at Clinton during the Second World War. The municipality still uses the name Canada's Home of Radar, and a large radar antenna remains downtown.
Call Rob or George directly, or send a message and one of them will get back to you. A home evaluation is free and prepared by a person, never a formula.
