Clifford Township (Township of Clifford)
Clifford Township is a township in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 2,107 at the time of the 2020 census.
Clifford Township was formed within the original Luzerne County in 1806 from parts of Nicholson Township; Nicholson Township was renamed Lenox Township in 1813.
The new township was named for "a man by the name of Clifford in Philadelphia", with the expectation that this man would pay for the honor of having a town named for him. He did not pay. Clifford Township became a part of Susquehanna County when it was partitioned from Luzerne County on 21 February 1810.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
