Name:
Named in 1843 by William Williams Mather, John Finch, and William Horton in honor of DeWitt Clinton [March 2, 1769 Little Britain, New York, USA - February 11, 1828 Albany, New York, USA], multi-talented American statesman and naturalist. Clinton was a Congressional senator for New York and later mayor of New York City. He was an organizer of the Historical Society of New York and the American Academy of Fine Arts. Clinton was one of the original surveyors of the route of the Erie Canal and later governor of New York state (July 1, 1817 - December 31, 1822. Work of the Erie Canal began with Clinton's breaking the ground for construction on July 4, 1817. Daniel Walker Howe (2007) wrote about Clinton: "The infrastructure he worked to create would transform American life, enhancing economic opportunity, political participation, and intellectual awareness." Sixteen towns and eight USA state counties are named for him.
