Clewiston, on Lake Okeechobee in Hendry County, stands where the Seminole once had a fishing camp. Permanent settlement began in 1920, when John O'Brien of Philadelphia and Alonzo Clewis of Tampa, who lived from 1864 to 1944, bought a large tract to found a town. They commissioned a town plan and built the Moore Haven and Clewiston Railway to link it to the Atlantic Coast Line at Moore Haven. Clewiston was incorporated as a city in 1925 and became known for its sport fishing, especially for largemouth bass.
Large sugarcane farms were established around the lake, and by the 1950s and 1960s citrus, vegetables and cattle were also important. The U.S. Sugar Corporation remained the dominant business, and Clewiston became known as "America's Sweetest Town." On June 24, 2008, Governor Charlie Crist announced a plan for the state to buy the company's 187,000 acres, including its Clewiston refinery, for $1.75 billion; that November the plan was scaled back to $1.34 billion for 181,000 acres of farmland.
