Clarion River History - Part I
The first residents of the Cook Forest State Park and Clear Creek State Park area were Native Americans, who arrived about 12,000 years ago. Then the climate was much colder and the area was populated by Eastern Bison, Mountain Lions, Caribou and other large mammals.
The Clarion River was first known as the “Tobecco” by the local Indian tribes, meaning “dark brown water”. This coloring was caused by the tannic acid which came from the decaying debris of the pine forests.
The French in 1749 named it the “Riviere au Fiel” or river of hate. The name was changed to “Toby Creek” by the early Europeans but was changed to “Stump Creek” as the lumbering began.
The hillsides eroded and flowed into the river and the name evolved to the “Mud River”. An early surveyor wrote, the river rapids sounded like a clarion, a medieval brass instrument. The name stuck and in 1817 was officially adopted.
