St. Clair was organized in 1841, and its county seat is located in Osceola City. From the 870s to the early 1900s, the county was infamous for being in an “open rebellion” against the Unites States government. According to the Century Magazine in its April 1907 issue, the county refused to pay taxes and especially interests of the bonds which were issued for the construction of a railway line, which wasn’t built.
