About the City of St. Johns

St. Johns, the county seat of Clinton County, is a warm, welcoming town known as Michigan’s Mint Capital. With a population of nearly 8,000, we’re big enough for variety and small enough for connection. 

Surrounded by rich farm lands, St. Johns thrives on agriculture, tradition, community spirit, and forward thinking. It’s centrally located (about 20 miles north of Lansing), so we’re close to metropolitan benefits while maintaining small-town character.

Downtown is the heart of it all. Here, you’ll find local shops, restaurants, services, arts, and events clustered in one walkable place. From the historic train depot to lively festivals and weekly markets, downtown is where neighbors meet, visitors stay awhile, and the city’s character shines brightest.

Come take a stroll downtown, grab a meal, shop local, or join us for an event, you’ll see how St. Johns is more than a city: it’s a community rooted in pride, connection, and shared enthusiasm for what’s next.

Come see what makes downtown St. Johns so special. Have questions or want to get involved? Give us a call at 989-224-8944 Ext. 233 — we’d love to hear from you!
