History
From time to time I'll try to dig up some older information about Clearwater. A section from "Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History" in 1912:
"Clearwater, an incorporated town of Ninnescah township, Sedgwick county, is situated 17 miles southwest of Wichita, near the Ninnescah river, and at the junction of the Missouri Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroads. It was first settled in 1870, was platted as a town in 1872, and in 1910 reported a population of 569. Clearwater has 2 banks, a money- order postoffice with three rural routes, express and telegraph offices, telephone connections, a weekly newspaper (the Courant), Baptist, Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian churches, good public schools, and is the principal trading and shipping point for a rich agricultural district in the Ninnescah valley."
In comparison, the 2008 Census shows Clearwater with a population of 2,405.
By my count, there are still 2 banks in town (although at one point there was only one), but now 7 churches (8 if you include St. John's in Viola).
The newspaper is now provided by a multi-town publication, the Times-Sentinel.
Clearwater continues to have excellent schools and is a great place to call home.

Sports - Sept 1, 2009
Apologies in advance for my lousy sports writing, fundamental misunderstanding of rules, and crummy score keeping. I'll try my best to post sports scores as I run across them. I'd be happy to get some outside sportscasting input. In the mean time...
