The city was established in 1829 and is named for DeWitt Clinton, governor of New York from 1817 to 1823. Many of Clinton's original settlers were immigrants working in coal mines, many from Italy. According to Vermillion County naturalization records, "...from 1856 to 1952... Vermillion County received almost 3,550 new citizens of foreign birth, the largest number coming during the first twelve years of [the 20th] century.


Italians accounted for one-third, or 1,178, of the total number who filed Declarations, with Austrians the next largest group (675) and then Scots. At least 77 percent of the Italians were from the northern regions of Italy." This was in contrast to the majority of Italian immigrants to America during this same time period that hailed from southern Italy.


Over time, the coal mining industry in Clinton ended but many of the Italian settlers stayed at Clinton. The Clinton post office has been in operation since 1823. The Clinton Paving and Building Brick Company was established in 1893, at which time it was producing 40,000 bricks per day.The Clinton Downtown Historic District and Hill Crest Community Center are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.In 2016, a satirical news website posted a fake news story about the town, claiming that the mayor was changing the town's name to avoid referencing Bill and Hillary Clinton.
