    Prehistoric sites around Clinton have been shown to be up to 3,000 years old, but European settlers did not arrive until the 18th century. In 1801, the settlers founded a town that they named Burrville in honor of the country's new vice-president, Aaron Burr. However, Burr fell into disgrace, resulting in the town being renamed in 1809; historians believe that the new name was to honor George Clinton, the vice-president who followed Burr, but the name could conceivably honored DeWitt Clinton, George's nephew and the mayor of New York City at the time. Regardless of how the name was chosen, life in Clinton was not without its challenges, including a variety of pests. Certain termites, for example, prospered in the area's climate.…

    “An invasive species can be any living organism—an amphibian, plant, insect, fish, fungus, bacteria, even a species’ eggs—which is not native to a certain ecosystem and causes harm.” @NWF. Invasive species are becoming a bigger and bigger problem, mainly because they reproduce extremely fast and can inflict great damage on an ecosystem. Invasive species are sometimes introduced to an area through migration or the actions of other organisms, but the main way invasive species spread is through human activities such as on being transported on ships, in wood products, ornamental plants, and through pet trade. Although it is still being researched, some believe that invasive species can actually have some benefit to humans such as the zebra mussel…

Much like these explorers, invasive species have the propensity to help, hurt, or assimilate into their new surroundings.…
