A Look Back: Clearlake Park's History
How the Name Changed
Clearlake Park has had a few different names over the years! It was once known as Clear Lake, Clear Lake Park, and even Jacks Landing.
A post office first opened in the area in 1923, and it was called "Clearlake." Later, in 1937, its name changed to "Clearlake Park."
Then, in 1980, when the community officially became part of the city of Clearlake, the post office name changed back to just "Clearlake."
