Mount Clemens (nicknamed "The Clem" by some residents) is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 17,312. It is the county seat of Macomb County6. Mount Clemens was first surveyed in 1795 by Christian Clemens, who settled there four years later. Clemens and his friend, John Brooks, built a distillery, which helped settle the area. Brooks and Clemens platted the land, and the town was named after Clemens in 1818. It received a post office in 1821, with John Stockton as the first postmaster. It filed for incorporation as a village in 1837, but it was not acted upon until 1851. It was later incorporated as a city in 1879. Mount Clemens was known for its mineral baths throughout the early and mid 20th century, accounting for Mount Clemens High School's nickname "Battling Bathers." -- Source: Wikipedia.com
