Clinton County, Michigan, USA

Clinton County lies in Michigan, linking established communities with the surrounding rural and suburban landscape. Saint Johns is the county seat, and fertile farmland gives way to Lansing-area suburbs in the south. Much of its historic form emerged as timber, farming, railroads and industrialization guided nineteenth- and twentieth-century growth, with later suburban and commercial growth adding new layers. Manufacturing, education, health care, agriculture and regional services remain central. Natural and built landmarks make the area recognizable to residents and visitors alike.
