Clio grew up beside a railroad. In the spring of 1890 the Central of Georgia Railroad finished a spur connecting Eufaula and Ozark, and the site of today's Clio was a water stop called Adkison Head. Old Clio, a small settlement with a few businesses, stood a few miles east near Judy Creek, and after the railroad was built its merchants moved closer to the tracks for easier shipping.
On June 10, 1890, twenty men filed a petition to incorporate the new settlement as Clio, with limits extending three-quarters of a mile in each direction from the crossing of the Marianna and Elba roads. An election was held on July 12, 1890, at the M. A. Martin Store, and the town was incorporated on July 17, 1890. A historical marker at the nearby Pea River Presbyterian Church recalls Barbour County's "Little Scotland." Clio is the birthplace of former Alabama governor George Wallace and of Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher and Atlanta Braves broadcaster Don Sutton.
