Clip's post office was established February 6, 1884 and discontinued October 13, 1888. The Silver Clip mine was located in the early 1880's and a 10 stamp mill was erected on the Colorado river nearby. The town had about 200 residents by 1882 and had a mill, general merchandise store, and more. When the mine played out the town survived a little while longer on tailings but finally died.
