Mount Clemens, Michigan

Mount Clemens is located in eastern Macomb County on the Clinton River, about four miles from Lake St. Clair. It was assigned as the county seat by Governor Lewis Cass in 1818. The downtown section contains a scenic mixture of old and new architecture, with many interesting places to shop. This area is especially known for its Coney Island hot dogs, found at several specialty restaurants downtown. An especially scenic location includes the river front, which contains a board walk and marina -- a good place to view downtown.

Mount Clemens was first surveyed in 1795 by Christian Clemens, who settled there four years later. Clemens and his friend, John Brooks, built a distillery, which helped settle the area. Brooks and Clemens platted the land, and the town was named after Clemens in 1818. It received a post office in 1821, with John Stockton as the first postmaster. It filed for incorporation as a village in 1837, but it was not acted upon until 1851. It was later incorporated as a city in 1879.
