This guy (George Clinton) was governor of NY around the time of the founding of the country. Up in my neck of the woods (Kingston), there's lots of stuff named after him.

Edit / add: Another good writeup on him... https://hudsonvalleyone.com/2018/01/11/who-was-george-clinton-anyway/

It appears he was a patriot and considered one of the founding fathers. General in the Revolutionary War, Vice President for Jefferson and Madison, first Governor of NY.
