Historic village of Clarkston's pioneer roots run deep along the river
Founded by a pioneer, the village of Clarkston, Michigan, grew quickly and by the late 19th century, it was a thriving community with its own railroad station. Today, nearly two centuries after Nelson Clark assembled his sawmill on the banks of the Clinton River, Clarkston is a busy village with a rich history and culture.
Supporters say the Oakland County village of Clarkston offers residents the best of both worlds: a small-town atmosphere with easy access to big-city amenities. “Clarkston is not Mayberry by any stretch of the imagination,” says Kim Bryant, an agent with Rivertown Realty. “But it definitely has a friendly community vibe that people find welcoming.”
