More on Eau Claire

Eau Claire is located at the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers. It comprises three separate settlements that merged over time. The original settlement, now called West Eau Claire, was founded in 1856 and incorporated in 1972. In the 1930s the village of Shawtown was added into the city boundary while in the 1950s Altoona was also annexed.

Eau Claire was originally known as Eaux Claires, meaning "clear waters" in French, after the Eau Claire River. It is one of a number of places in the United States and Canada to carry that name.
