Welcome to Clever, a quaint town nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, where rich history intertwines with charm. Founded in the late 19th century, Clever's origins lie in the pioneering spirit of its early settlers who founded the town amidst the rugged beauty of the Ozarks. From its humble beginnings as a small agricultural settlement at the crossroads of the original Old Wire Road that extended from St. Louis to Fort Smith, AR and a road that extended between Springfield and Billings, Clever has retained its tight-knit community spirit while embracing progress, growth, and entrepreneurship. From the one store that existed in 1894, to a thriving small town, Clever has seen significant growth, as every town in Christian County has in the last several years.
