A historic legacy in Michigan. Near the end of 1785, Moravian missionaries and Christianized Delaware Indians began the task of laying a road from their settlement on the river near Mount Clemens to Fort Detroit. When finished, it became known as the Moravian Trail. The nearly 24-mile wagon-way through the bush was Michigan’s first interior road. Today residents can trace the road’s course as it runs south from Moravian Road to Schoenherr Road, down to Gratiot Avenue and Six Mile Road.

Outdoor activities. Thanks to the popularity of the Clinton River, and an extensive park system the Township continues to draw new visitors and new residents. The three major branches of the river join inside township borders offering outdoor enthusiasts miles of waterway to kayak, canoe, and fish. Native plant species and outdoor activities can be enjoyed at the township's twelve park locations.
Outdoor pursuits are prevalent throughout Clinton Township, and recreation offerings take place throughout the year. There is a sledding hill and dedicated dog park on the grounds of the Civic Center at 40700 Romeo Plank Road.
The 15,000-square-foot Senior Adult Life Center, which offers arts and crafts, exercise and fitness, and travel programs, is also located at the Civic Center. Right next door is the main branch of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library, which boasts three convenient locations, and is one of the largest libraries in Macomb County. The Civic Center is also home to numerous soccer and baseball fields, as well as the new state-of-the-art pickleball courts.
Balancing work/play for residents. Clinton Township leaders continue to work toward creating an ideal mix of retail, industrial and residential areas to support township growth, tax base, and quality of living. The Clinton Township Gratiot Downtown Development Authority (DDA) counts more than 300 businesses as members, and the high-profile Gratiot Avenue corridor carries more than 70,000 vehicles daily.
Additionally, Clinton Township is home to The Mall at Partridge Creek, an open-air shopping mall with 90 stores in a pet-friendly environment. Clinton Township does not have a traditional downtown, and in many ways, The Mall at Partridge Creek fills the role as Clinton Township’s downtown or “100” spot.
Recognizing those who serve is important. Clinton Township co-hosts military veteran recognition events on Memorial Day, Patriot Day, Veterans Day, and a Wreaths Across America event. To hold these events, the township partners with Resurrection Cemetery, which is one of the largest and most community-oriented cemeteries in the state. The township is proud of its highly respected police, fire, and EMS services, and takes steps to recognize all of its first responders in a variety of ways throughout the year. The Future First. Clinton Township celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2018. As the township moves into its next 200 years, it will remain a vibrant community providing opportunities for residents, entrepreneurs, and visitors. Learn more at www.clintontownship.com.
