Clintonville lies within ancestralMenominee territory. In theMenominee language, it is known asOmīniahkan, "place where pigeons are hunted".[7] It was ceded to the United States by the Menominee in 1836 through theTreaty of the Cedars, an agreement to sell over four million acres to the United States as part of the negotiations about how to accommodate theOneida,Stockbridge-Munsee, andBrothertown peoples who were beingremoved from New York to Wisconsin.[8][9] After this, the area around Clintonville became available for purchase by white American settlers.
In March, 1855 Norman Clinton and his family U. P. Clinton, Boardman Luman, and Mandy settled along the bank of thePigeon River. They built the first establishment that grew into the city of Clintonville. The home they built was constructed of poles covered with hemlock boughs. It was used until a more suitable home built of logs could be constructed. They had drinking water from two large springs located on the bank of the river “Whose delicious water had flowed unmolested since the creation of the Universe.”[citation needed]
In March 2012, mysterious booms were heard by some in the city.[10] TheU.S. Geological Survey detected a 1.5 magnitudemicroearthquake nearby on March 21 that geophysicists said might have produced the sounds.[11]
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.46 square miles (11.55 km2), of which, 4.40 square miles (11.40 km2) is land and 0.06 square miles (0.16 km2) is water.[12]
