Clinton
is a historic city in Hinds County in the Jackson metropolitan area. As of the 2010 census, the population was 25,216. The town of Clinton was founded in 1823 and originally called Mount Salus. The first road through the town was the old Natchez Trace, which followed a centuries old Native American path through the region. Today, Clinton has three major highways pass through town; U.S. Route 80, Interstate 20 and the Natchez Trace Parkway. The city of Clinton is home to Mississippi College, which is a Christian university and the oldest college in the state, founded in 1826. It's also the second oldest Baptist university in the world, and was the first coeducational college in the United States to grant a degree to a woman. During World War II, a camp for German POW was established south of Clinton which houses about 3,000 soldiers. Of the 40 German generals captured during the war, Camp Clinton housed 35 of them. Clinton also has the distinction of being the smallest city to ever host a Fortune 500 company, WorldCom, from the mid-1990s to 2002, at which time it went bankrupt. There's much to see and do in the area, with the capital city of Jackson being just minutes away from Clinton. Places to visit include the Jackson Zoological Park, the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, and LeFleur Bluff State Park.

Clinton Weather & Climate

Central Mississippi has a humid, subtropical climate with warm, humid summers and short winters. In Mississippi, summer temperatures vary little from one part of the state to another. During winter, however, the southern coast is much warmer than northern regions, due to the influence of the Gulf of Mexico. Humidity in summer is a problem statewide, with the comfort index being 26 out of 100, where the higher the number, the more comfortable. The north-central region of the state averages 53 inches of precipitation per year. Some snow usually falls in the northern and central sections. Mississippi lies in the path of hurricanes, although the southern coast is much more affected by these types of storms. Two tornado alleys cross the state from the southwest to northeast.
