Clearfield County was established in 1804 from portions of Huntingdon County and Lycoming County and named for Clearfield Creek. The creek was named for its natural ‘clear fields’ created by roaming bison that once inhabited the area. Originally governed as part of Centre County, the county elected its first commissioners in 1812 and organized its courts in 1822. The borough of Clearfield was incorporated in 1840. Centrally located, Clearfield County benefits from six interchanges along Interstate 80, supporting strategic access to regional markets and ongoing economic development opportunities. 

This central location has helped attract significant investment, including the Walmart Distribution Center, the Clearfield Campus of Lock Haven University, and the State Correctional Institution Houtzdale.

Clearfield County is also known for its outdoor recreation, state parks, and rich heritage tied to Pennsylvania’s lumber and coal history—making it both a place to do business and a place to call home.
