Clifton was first established by Norwegian settlers in 1854 and continued to grow through the end of the 19th century. The Texas oil boom contributed further to its growth, including the industrial growth that occurred across the entire state. Eventually, Clifton became the largest Norwegian colony in the southwest and was officially named the Norwegian Capital of Texas by the state legislature in 1997.

To this day, Clifton continues to preserve and celebrate its Norwegian heritage. Not only are a large percentage of the population of Norwegian descent, but you’ll find several original limestone buildings built when their ancestors first arrived, Norwegian artifacts at the Bosque County Museum, and so much more! The list of things to do in Clifton will definitely keep you busy!
