History of Clio
The area where Clio now stands was first settled in 1837 by a person named Theodore P. Dean. It was originally called Varna. Later, in 1861, the Pere Marquette Railroad built a train station there. In 1866, the town's name was changed to Clio, which is the name of the Greek goddess (or muse) of history.
On July 23, 2007, the Governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, announced that Clio was chosen for a special program. This program, called "Blueprints for Downtowns," helped Clio create a plan to make its downtown area better. The goal was to bring in new businesses, create jobs, and encourage people to invest in the city. Other towns like Caro and Ypsilanti also received similar help.
Starting on November 27, 2017, Clio and other nearby towns began receiving their water from the Karegnondi Water Authority pipeline. This water is treated by the Genesee County Drain Commission.
