1859-1941

George Huntington Clark was born in Providence, Rhode Island. He received his education at Yale University before embarking on a career in the railroad industry. Clark worked for various railroads, including the New York and Lackawanna Railroad, before relocating to Alabama in 1887 to engineer the Selma and Cahaba Valley Railroad. His expertise led him to serve as the chief engineer of the East and West Railroad of Alabama and later as the engineer for the Birmingham Realty Company in Birmingham. Clark also held positions as the general manager of the Birmingham Traction Company, Birmingham Belt Railroad, and Frisco Systems, contributing extensively to the region's transportation networks. He further served as Jefferson County Engineer from 1915 to 1916 and as assistant geologist for the State of Alabama from 1921 to 1925. Clark passed away in 1941.
