Historical Context
The City Clerk is one of the oldest professions in
government. The early keepers of the archives were often
called remembrances and before writing came into use, their
memory was the public record. The office of clerk can be traced
back to the year 1272 AD in the History of the Corporation of Old
London.
When early colonists came to America, they set up forms of local
government to which they had been accustomed, and the office of
clerk was one of the first established. The colony at Plymouth
appointed a person to act as a recorder.
Over the years, municipal clerks have become the hub of
government – the direct link between the inhabitants of their
towns and their government. The clerk is the historian of the
community; the entire recorded history of the town and its people
is in the clerk’s care.
