The plaque will be unveiled ,by 'Jac'k Gibbings, great-grandson of one of Clinton's first settlers, and dedicated by Rev. John S. Destreicher of the Wesley Willis United Church. The inscription of the plaque reads: THE FOUNDING OF CLINTON The earliest settlers on the • site of Clinton, Jonas Gibbings lr'Ne This was Rev. Laragh's second trip to Europe. In 1968, on his 25th anniversary with the Church, he took a cruise and visited a ' number of Mediterranean countries. William Rattenbury, *ho was reportedly a blacksmith employed chiefly by the Canada Company for whom he had helped to build mills, wharves and, stores at various points, contributed great- ly to Clinton's growth. A present- day writer notes: "The real beginning of Clinton. occurred .. when William Rattenbury who had first settled near Brucefield and then moved to Goderich decided that 'The Corners' could be developed into a flourishing settlement. He bought three of the four corners at the crossroads and proceeded to lay out a' townsite which he called Clinton in honour of Lt. Col. Lord Clinton on whose estate in Devonshire his father was a large tenant farm- er." By 1852 Rattenbury was' selling village lots, .a general store owned by, Samuel and Thomas Rance was opened, and a post office named Clinton was established., Between 1854 and 1858 the efforts of men such as Joseph Whitehead, an engineer, who showed ambitious businessmen how to utilize steam power, assisted the community's growth, but it was the arrival of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway line from Fort Erie to Goderich, which served as a fillip to the village's development and enabl- ed Clinton to establish itself as a promising industrial community.

The completion in 1858 of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Rail- way stimulated the community growth, and in that year it was incorporated as a Village. n 1875 it became a Town. Historical Background About 1831 the families of Jonas Gibbings and Peter Vand- erburgh settled in the area where the London and Huron Roads intersected. Vanderburgh located right at the intersection, while Gibbings built his homestead at the corner of present-day Ratten- bury and Willaim Streets. By the mid-1830's both had obtained patents for lots of over 100 acres.
