Prehistoric [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] habitation was common throughout the Clinch valley, especially during the [[Woodland period]] (1000 B.C. – 1000 A.D.) and the [[Mississippian culture|Mississippian period]] (1000–1550 A.D.). A number of such habitation sites were excavated in the 1930s and 1950s in anticipation of the construction of Norris Dam and Melton Hill Dam, respectively. The Melton Hill excavations uncovered two substantial Woodland period villages along the Clinch at Bull Bluff and Freels Bend, both approximately {{convert|20|mi|km}} downstream from Clinton.<ref>Glyn DuVall, "[http://www.eh.doe.gov/NEPA/ea/EA1548/appxa.pdf A Phase I Archaeological Survey of Proposed Potable Water Storage and Force Main Facilities, Y-12 National Security Complex Site, Anderson County, Tennessee]{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}."  August 2005.

Retrieved: 21 February 2008.</ref> Although the [[Treaty of Holston]], signed in 1791, was intended as a negotiation with the Cherokee to prohibit Euro-American settlement of the area including what is today Anderson County, the treaty became ineffective as more settlers moved through the [[Appalachian Mountains]] from [[Virginia]] and [[North Carolina]] into Tennessee. The earliest settlers in Anderson County included the Wallace, Gibbs, Freels, Frost and Tunnell families. The flooding of white settlers into the Indian domain was cause for several skirmishes, which eased after the [[Treaty of Tellico]] in 1798 (including an origination point for the land to be relinquished from the Cherokee being the [[Tellico Blockhouse]]) allowed for greater ease in settling the area.<ref>{{cite book |last= Overholt |first= James |title= [[Anderson County, Tennessee]] |publisher= [[The Donning Company]] |year= 1989 |isbn= 0-89865-770-9 |pages=13–20}}</ref>

Founded in 1801, the town of Burrville was named in honor of [[Aaron Burr]], first-term [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] under [[Thomas Jefferson]]. Land was selected and partitioned for a courthouse, and Burrville was designated as the county seat for the newly formed Anderson County. The county was partitioned from portions of [[Grainger County, Tennessee|Grainger County]] and [[Knox County, Tennessee|Knox County]] in 1801; neighboring [[Roane County, Tennessee|Roane County]] was also formed from a portion of Knox County in 1801, making Anderson and Roane counties effectively "sister counties".<ref>{{cite book |last= Wells |first= Emma Middleton |title= History of Roane County, Tennessee, Volume 1 |publisher= The Lookout Publishing Company |year= 1927 |isbn= 0-8063-8003-9 |pages=9–11}}</ref>

On November 8, 1809, by act of Tennessee State Legislature, the town of Burrville was renamed because of the disgrace felt when Burr was charged with treason for conspiring with the governor of the Louisiana Purchase, to form another country from part of the Louisiana Purchase and part of Mexico. The selection of the name "Clinton" was most likely to honor [[George Clinton (vice president)|George Clinton]] or his nephew, [[DeWitt Clinton]].<ref>Tara Mitchell Mielnik, [http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entry.php?rec=23 Anderson County]." ''The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2009. Retrieved: 11 February 2013.</ref> George Clinton was one of Burr's New York political rivals who, along with Alexander Hamilton, destroyed Burr's bid for the governorship of the state of New York after his single-term vice presidency. George Clinton succeeded Burr as the second-term vice president for Thomas Jefferson in 1805 (and also served as [[James Madison]]'s vice president, making Clinton the first vice president to serve under two presidents and the first vice president to die in office). Because of the political position of George Clinton as vice president at the time of Burrville's name change, compared to DeWitt Clinton's position as the mayor of [[New York City]], most likely the residents of the town of Burrville would have been more readily identifiable and more honorable toward George Clinton than DeWitt; therefore, it is most likely Clinton was named after George Clinton, barring historical proof.

{{further|Clinton High School, Tennessee#Integration}}
In 1956, Clinton gained national attention when segregationists opposed the [[desegregation]] of [[Clinton High School (Clinton, Tennessee)|Clinton High School]]. Following the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] decision in the case of ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'', a court order required the desegregation of the high school. Twelve [[African-American]] students enrolled in the high school in the fall of 1956. On August 27, 1956, [[The Clinton 12]] attended classes at Clinton High School for the first time, becoming the first African-Americans to desegregate a state-supported public school in the Southeast. While the first day of classes occurred without incident, pro-segregation forces led by [[John Kasper]] and [[Asa Carter]] arrived in Clinton the following week and rallied the city's white citizens. Riots broke out in early September, forcing Governor [[Frank G. Clement]] to station National Guard units in Clinton throughout September. Sporadic violence and threats continued for the next two years, culminating in the bombing of Clinton High School on October 5, 1958. With an influx of outside aid, however, the school was quickly rebuilt.<ref>Carroll Van West, "[http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entry.php?rec=279 Clinton Desegregation Crisis]."  ''The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2009.  Retrieved: 11 February 2013.</ref>


A museum dedicated to the desegregation crisis, the Green McAdoo Cultural Center, is now housed in Clinton's segregation-era [[Green McAdoo School]].

===Rogers Group quarry pushback===
{| class="wikitable" style="width:95%;" cellpadding="5"
 
|-
In the 1990s, the Rogers Group, a firm specializing in road paving, began a campaign to reactivate an abandoned [[quarry]] and build an [[asphalt plant]] just east of Clinton near the community of Bethel. The initiative met with opposition from local and environmental groups, who were concerned that the plant would release cancer-causing toxins into nearby residential neighborhoods.  Others were concerned about plummeting property values, noise pollution, damage from rock blasting, and environmental damage to Buffalo Creek. The company argued that it would follow stringent environmental and pollution guidelines, [[retention pond]]s would limit runoff, and that the site would be surrounded by vegetation. Nevertheless, Anderson County refused to rezone the quarry property for industrial uses, and Rogers Group sued the county in 1995.<ref name="Leean Tupper 2008">Leean Tupper, "[http://www.aggregateresearch.com/articles/12921/Citizens-sue-Rogers-Group.aspx Citizens Sue Clinton and Rogers Group] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307152114/http://www.aggregateresearch.com/articles/12921/Citizens-sue-Rogers-Group.aspx |date=2016-03-07 }}," 19 September 2007.

Sharon Lee (born September 11, 1952) is an American science fiction, fantasy and mystery author who lived in Winslow, Maine from 1988-2018 before moving to nearby Waterville. She is the co-author (with Steve Miller) of the Liaden universe novels and stories,[1] as well as other works, and individually the author of several mystery and fantasy novels.

Background

Born Sharon Lee Backof in Baltimore, Maryland, Lee graduated from Parkville Senior High School in 1970, and attended University of Maryland, Baltimore County during the late 1970s while employed as Administrative Aide to the Dean of the School of Social Work and Community Planning at the UMAB Professional Schools in downtown Baltimore. Sharon Lee and Steve Miller were married in 1980. In 1988, they relocated to central Maine, living in Winslow. [2] In early 2018, they moved "into town" to nearby Waterville (on the other side of the Kennebec River).[3]

Throughout her life, Lee has been employed as various flavors of secretary, as well as advertising copywriter, call-in talk hostess, nightside news copy editor, freelance reporter, photographer, book reviewer, and deliverer of tractor trailers. Beginning in August 1997, she served three years as the executive director of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and was subsequently elected vice president, then president of that organization.[4]

Lee's first professional fiction publication was "A Matter of Ceremony," Amazing Stories, 1980.[5] Her most notable works to date are the books in the Liaden Universe, written in conjunction with her husband, Steve Miller, published by Baen Books, and which are considered part of the space opera sub-genre. Lee and Miller also co-authored the Fey Duology[6] - Duainfey and Longeye. Lee has written a contemporary fantasy series based in Maine - Carousel series (Archer's Beach), which includes 3 novels published by Baen Books and several short stories. In addition, she has written two Maine-based mystery novels—Barnburner[7] and Gunshy[8]—and several dozen short stories.
