The Village of Clinton is located 39 kms north of the Trans Canada Highway #1 and Cariboo Highway #97 junction, with an elevation of 887 meters. This community, with its colorful history of well over 100 years and its unique western atmosphere, was founded as a direct result of the "boom" of the Cariboo Gold Rush.
Clinton, incorporated in 1963, boasts of hosting one of British Columbia's oldest continuously running events, the "Clinton Annual Ball," now held in May of each year.
As a midway point between Vancouver and Prince George, Clinton serves as a centre providing amenities to both its own residents and the travelling public.
The population of Clinton is approximately 740.
