About Clawson, MI

This area was occupied by the historic Potowatomi people, who were among the indigenous peoples in the Detroit territory. They traded furs for goods for years with the French Canadians and English colonists. The city's name is a misspelling of the surname of John Lawson, an early European-American settler. It was founded by European Americans in 1829 and was originally known as Pumachug, likely derived from a Potowatomi term, and The Corners. It was incorporated as Clawson in 1921 as a village; in 1940 it was incorporated as a city.
