City History:	Incorporated 1923. John Nolan, a nationally known planner, was commissioned in 1920 to create a plan for the city. The design of streets, parkways and other features make Clewiston distinctive from other South Florida towns. In 1922, developers John and Marian O'Brien and A.C. Clewis (a Tampa banker), who owned considerable land in the area, extended the railroad from the Atlantic Coast Line terminus in Moore Haven to Sand Point (the ridge section of Clewiston). The new station was named Clewiston in honor of Mr. Clewis who provided the capital for the extension. The city was platted and re-incorporated in 1932 with a Commission form of government. Today, it has a council-manager form of government.
