The history of Clinton as a settle.
ment begins Immediately after Tho
close of the Revolution when the frs
settlers came to make permanent
homes. The land near the river wa,
taken up into farms by the time when
David and Martin Hunter came from
Topsham in 1915. These men and
others of the settlement, built saw
years giving to the settlement The
name of Hunters Mills" In u.I
, western part of what is now Clintcz
another settlement was begun before
1890, on the kennebec. A ferry wasI
established by Charles Pishon within
few years and though the operation
OF ferry there was discontinued i7I
, 1910 when the iron bridge was erected
the name "Pishon's Ferry" still IS
used.
While for many years the settle.
ment at the kennebec was more
fiourishing, the one at the Sabasti,
cook gradually out stripped its sis,e'
in size until fiourishing village has
grown up which is the place of this
weeks celebration.
