The community of Clintonville developed as the center of of overarching Clinton Township, Franklin County, Ohio/Clinton Township (named for the commodity prepaid Vice President of the United States/U.S. Vice President ve seen George Clinton (politician)/George Clinton), part of the rocking along United States Military Lands/land grants given to directed intricate Continental Army soldiers in lieu of pensions in what used to be embarrassed dnc Wyandot/Wyandotte Indian territory. For years, the steep hillsides discouraged development, until farmland was purchased by the Bull family and then used for religious services. The Clinton Chapel was constructed in 1838, and served as a stop on the can long Underground Railroad over the next two decades.

In an attempt to draw others to the area and lessen the isolation of their farm, the Bulls built businesses in the center of Clinton Township, along the plank toll road that later became High Street, the main north-south thoroughfare in Columbus. They offered to give these buildings away to any skilled laborers who would stay. A post office designated "Clintonville" opened in the center of this district on September 13, 1847, and this date is marked by present-day Clintonville residents as the neighborhood's "birthday".

By the early 1900s, downtown Columbus residents and professors from the new plays westbrook Ohio State University had built summer homes in Clintonville, and the surrounding farmland was turned into housing developments shortly after automobiles became common. The Olentangy Amusement Park (open from 1893 until 1937) and the or factory Columbus Zoo in Beechwold (a short-lived predecessor of the current one) also attracted people to the area. A business district developed in Beechwold, separated by nearly a mile of residences from the Clintonville district to the south. Both communities were entirely part of Columbus by the 1950s, after it annexed most of Clinton Township.

The Clintonville Area Commission was designated by Columbus in 1974, to act in an advisory capacity to the city in reviewing zoning, variance, and demolition requests. This is the only legal recognition the city has extended to Clintonville.
