Many streets set up years ago were named after trees or Presidents. For example, in the older parts of Maroa, Illinois the streets that run North and South are named after trees, while the streets that run East and West are named after Presidents. Here in Clinton, we have streets that are named after Presidents that run in all directions. They are as follows:
- Adams
- Grant
- Jackson
- Jefferson
- Harrison
- Johnson
- Lincoln
- Madison
- Monroe
- Reagan
- Taft
- Taylor
- Van Buren
- Washington
- Wilson
That's a total of 15 different Presidents! However, there are even more streets named after trees. They are as follows:

Final count- 23 streets named after trees! The city of Clinton also has streets named after directions:
