Clinton: Lumber Legacy on the Mississippi
Clinton sits on the Mississippi River in eastern Iowa with a population of about 26,100. In the 1880s and 1890s, Clinton was one of the lumber capitals of the world, processing timber floated down the Mississippi from Wisconsin and Minnesota forests. Several lumber barons built mansions that still line the bluffs above the river.
The sawmills closed as the forests were depleted by the early 1900s. Manufacturing replaced lumber, and companies like Dupont and Colgate-Palmolive established plants in the area. The ADM corn processing plant remains one of the larger industrial operations in the city.
Eagle Point Park, designed with WPA labor in the 1930s, sits on a bluff overlooking the river and lock and dam system. The Sawmill Museum, housed in a restored mill building, documents the lumber era. The city's position on the river provides scenic views but also flood risk during high water.
