Clewiston is a city in Hendry County, Florida, United States. The population was 7,155 at the 2010 census,[5] up from 6,460 at the 2000 census. The estimated population in 2015 was 7,505.[6] Clewiston is home to the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Seminole Indian Museum, the Clewiston Museum, Dixie Crystal Theatre, and Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail. The area has been home to Seminole tribe members and sugar plantations.
The area beside Lake Okeechobee was once used as a fishing camp by the Seminole Indians. The first permanent settlement began in 1920, when John O’Brien of Philadelphia and Alonzo Clewis of Tampa purchased a large tract of land to establish a town. They commissioned a town plan and built the Moore Haven & Clewiston Railroad to connect the community to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad at Moore Haven. Incorporated as a city in 1925, Clewiston would become noted for its sport fishing, particularly of largemouth bass.
