Chinklacamoose, the town that came first
Long before Lawrence was a township, an Indian town stood here. A state historical marker at the south end of Clearfield, by South Second Street, calls it Chinklacamoose. The marker says C.F. Post visited in 1758 on his way to an Indian council. The old county history spells the name Chincleclamousche. The county history says the name had marked this locality since the French and Indian War. Later the town was found destroyed, and its people had gone west to the French forts. The name stayed with the place.
Daniel Ogden, the pioneer, settled here in 1797 and found what was left of the old town. Matthew Ogden later built the first grist mill in the county, on Moose Creek. Those details come from the old History of Clearfield County. The same book says Lawrence was once much bigger. It held the land of Goshen, Girard, Covington and Karthaus. Even after those were split off, it was still one of the largest townships in the county. The marker adds one more old story. The name Clearfield may come from clearings made by bison grazing along the creeks.
