Its History

Clark City was first planned out in 1868. When a place is "platted," it means someone drew up a map showing where streets, lots, and public areas would be. This was often done to help sell land and encourage people to move there.

A post office was opened in Clark City in 1870. This was an important service for the community, allowing people to send and receive mail. The post office served the area for many years before it finally closed in 1903.
