It was about 1796, that there was projected into this half-Indian, half-French settlement on the Huron River the energy of a man, Christian Clemens, whose name today is honored by the name of the county seat. A Detroiter, he undertook a surveying trip for Governor Cass, and sizing up the slightly elevated town site that is now a city, he later purchased large private claims and called the settlement Mount Clemens. He built the first house on the westerly side of what is today North Broadway. When Wayne County was established as a county in the Michigan Territory in 1815, it included all that part of Michigan to which the Indian title had been extinguished, including our present Macomb County. Prior to that the territorial government had been organized in Detroit under General William Hull, the first governor, and it was he whose signature in 1807 voided Indian land titles. By proclamation of Governor Lewis Cass, on January 15, 1818, all land ceded to the United States by the several Indian tribes from Maumee to White Rock was formed into the County of Macomb.

St. Clair County is known as the Blue Water Area. The St. Clair River is one of the heaviest traveled rivers in the world. It is part of the world's longest shipping canal, the 2,347 mile St. Lawrence Seaway. Watching the freighters passing up and down the river is a wonderful, peaceful pastime. St. Clair is situated in the eastern part of the state, on the St. Clair river and Lake Huron, and is bounded as follows: On the north by Sanilac county, on the east by Lake Huron and River St. Clair, which separates it from the Province of Upper Canada, south by Lake St. Clair and Macomb county, and west by Macomb and Lapeer counties. It contains 948 square miles. It is watered by the Black, Belle, Pine, Swan rivers, and Mill creek. The surface is undulating, and the soil in the southern part, consisting of a black loam, is fertile, and that in the north and west somewhat sandy. It is heavily timbered with oak, pine, and other timber. (Michigan State Gazetter, 1863/1864) The previous information was provided by: Official
