About Birdseye

How Birdseye Got Its Name
The area where Birdseye is located was first settled in 1885. It was originally called Summit Basin. Later, its name was changed to Clinton.
The name "Birdseye" was chosen because of a special type of marble found nearby. This marble has patterns that look like the eyes of birds. These unique marble quarries are located close to Indianola.
