Clinton

Clinton is a village in Oneida County in central New York that sits east of Oriskany Creek and covers a small area of land. The community centers around Hamilton College and a Village Green that hosts various gatherings throughout the year.

The village was founded in 1787 by Revolutionary War veterans from Connecticut and named after New York's first governor. Hamilton College grew from an academy that initially served both European American and Oneida Native American students.

Hamilton College shapes community life and brings students who actively participate in local events and activities. The institution's presence is felt throughout the village in everyday interactions and public spaces.

The Village Green serves as the central meeting point for events and gatherings throughout the year. The village is compact and walkable, making it easy to explore the area on foot.

The village served as a filming location for a hockey movie and was home to a minor league hockey team. This sporting heritage remains part of the local story and adds to the community's identity.
