Local History

The county, when established in 1840, was named Kaykakee (Pigeon Hawk) after a chief who had signed the Treaty in 1826.  It was renamed Clare, after a county in Ireland, in 1843.  This settlement, named after its county, was founded with the coming through of the Pere Marquette Railroad in 1870-71.  Incorporated as a village in 1879 and as a city in 1891.
