Clinton County Seal

The Clinton County Board of Commissioners adopted the official county seal on December 29, 1978. The idea for the seal came from former County Treasurer from 1974 to 1984, Gerald Shepard and former County Clerk from 1968 to 1978, Ernie Carter. The final design was by Forrest Bass Jr. of Park Lake. The seal shows stalks of wheat, a factory and a whitetail deer signifying agriculture, industry and state land.

Clinton County Flag

Commissioned in 1940 by the J.L. Hudson Co. with the cooperation of Michigan county school commissioners, Michigan county clerks, Michigan newspaper editors and publishers, chambers of commerce groups and others. There were 83 flags, each 5 by 8 feet in size, made of silk and in colors exhibited at the Hudson Store during September 1940. The designs selected represent industrial activities, famous landmarks, natural resources, recreational facilities, historical events and civic projects for each particular county.

The Clinton County flag has a sprig of mint at it's center representing Clinton County's peppermint and spearmint growing industry. During late July and early August, the refreshing scent of mint distilling can be enjoyed while driving through the county.
