REFERENCE COUNTY CLERK CLYDE TOWNSHIP First settlers arrived in 1837. It was a portion of Newark township until 1850, then a portion of Pine Plains township until it was set off by the board of supervisors in 1859, and organized in 1860 (the last township in the county to be organized.) It was named Clyde after the place of the same name in New York State. The Village of Fennville was first occupied in 1860, and named for an early settler; the postoffice was established in 1866, called Fenn's Mill, and changed to Fennville when incorporated as a village in 1889. It was incorporated as a city February 8. 1961. Bravo was first settled in 1867, and was called Sherman until 1871. |
