| Description |
The City of the Village of Clarkston, or Clarkston, is a small city located in Independence Township in Oakland County, Michigan. The city is approximately one half square mile in size. Its population in 2010 was 882. Clarkston's Main Street is M-15. The village is located 42 miles north of Detroit. It has easy access to I-75 and US 24. In 1992, Village residents voted to incorporate the Village as a city in order to preserve its boundaries and local government. Linux Jacox from New York built the first house in Clarkston in 1830. He sold his claim to Butler Holcomb in 1831. In 1832, Holcomb built the second house and a sawmill. Jeremiah Clark, from Onondaga County, New York, came to Detroit in 1831, and in 1832 located in Independence Township where he built a log cabin. Nelson W. Clark arrived in 1836 and became a prominent citizen in the township. In 1838, Holcomb sold his property to the Clark brothers, who then built a grist mill. The first church to be erected in Clarkston was the Methodist Church on Buffalo Street in 1841. In 1842, the Clark brothers platted a tract of land for a village and gave it the name Clarkston. The Village of Clarkston was designated a Michigan State Historic Site on January 16, 1976 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1979. The Clarkston Village Historic District includes Buffalo Street, Church Street, Clarkston Road, Depot Road, Holcomb Street, Main Street(M-15),Miller Road, Waldon Road and Washington Street. In April, 2016, the Clarkston Union Bar & Kitchen and The Union Woodshop were both featured on the Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, where both restaurants were part of Kid Rock's Detroit Tour with show host Guy Fieri. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkston,_Michigan" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkston,_Michigan</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...</a> |
