Clinton Township was settled in 1800 as a rural community. At one time, a circus, the Sells Brothers Circus, operated in what today is the area of University View. In the eastern part of the township, what is now Cleveland Avenue was once known as Harbor Street. Clinton Township lost territory from the 1950s through the early 1970s via annexation.[3]

The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township fiscal officer,[4] who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election.
