Clifton's Industrial Rise Transforms Texas Town
An article profiles Clifton Texas, a 2,100 population city 35 miles northwest of Waco, as it shifts from agricultural focus to industry. Since 1956 the town attracted multiple plants including garment, tool, and mill operations, boosted by a 200000 church and a new hospital wing, with bank deposits over three million and a 10 percent population rise.
