The city is considered a suburb of Flint and is located entirely within Vienna Township, but is administratively autonomous.
Originally named Varney after the city's first grain buyer, its name was changed in 1864 to Clio. The name change was brought on by Colonel Hill, a literary minded local hotel owner. Colonel Hill convinced the local ladies to name the town after the Greek goddess Clio, muse of history and poetry and daughter of Jupiter.
