Clearfield, Pennsylvania lies on the western bank of the lovely Susquehanna River. Named by white settlers for the large clearings of undergrowth made by grazing herds of bison, the Indian village that once stood there chose a different name: Chinklaclamoose, meaning 'no one tarries here willingly.'  Times have changed and the population of more than 6,500 (Census 2000 data) appears to be quite happy to tarry in this lovely little borough.

Incorporated in 1840, the town is the county seat of Clearfield County. Situated in West-Central Pennsylvania, the County is ideally located for business and commerce; Interstate 80 runs directly through it, providing direct access to markets in both the Northeastern U.S. as well as the Midwest. With a strong business climate and a promising economic future, three industrial parks are in place, and several more lie in the works. The Clearfield Professional Office Park is a new addition too. Clearfield's Economic Development Office is ready to aid any firms looking to relocate to this fantastic area.

Clearfield County residents enjoy its many acres of pristine forest, shimmering lakes and clean mountain streams. The Curwensville Dam was built in order to protect Clearfield and other towns from spring floods off the Susquehanna. This formed the wonderful Curwensville Lake area, almost 2900 acres of water and recreational land use. Perfect for camping, hiking and fishing, the lake attracts many boating enthusiasts also. Another great place to hike as well as bike is the Clearfield through Grampian Rails to Trails.

Clearfield County residents pride themselves as being the entry to the Pennsylvania Wilds, a region that covers twelve counties in the state, and offers more than two million acres of state and national forestland, where herds of wild elk roam along with other abundant wildlife. The northern portion of the County contains the awesome Quehanna Wilds, which wind through a stunning forest of white birch and leads to Panther Rocks, a formation made of boulders that range from 80 to 270 feet high. Four state parks lie within 45 minutes of the Borough of Clearfield, offering endless outdoor sports and recreation. Bilger's Rocks, found just outside of the town of Grampian, are giant sandstone formations that hold within them an ice cave, a must-see for those who dress warmly.

Clearfield residents celebrate life each year, hosting the Clearfield County Fair. The year 2005 will see the 145^th fair take place. Full of events like harness racing and livestock shows, plenty of rides for the kids and some of the best music around for everyone to enjoy, the Fair's annual event draws people from all over the region. One of the biggest and the best fairs in an area that thrives on festivals, this one is not to be missed.

Clearfield, Pennsylvania is an ideal place to work, live and play. Modern residents and visitors will definitely want to 'willingingly tarry here longer'.
