Early Life

Chelsea Clinton was born on February 27, 1980, in Little Rock, Arkansas. She is the only child of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. She got her name after her family took a trip to the Chelsea district of London for Christmas in 1978. According to Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton suggested they name their future daughter Chelsea after hearing Judy Collins perform Joni Mitchell‘s Chelsea Morning in 1969.

When Chelsea Clinton was two years old, her parents took her to campaign for her father’s gubernatorial race all over Arkansas. She was very young when she learned to read and write. Chelsea Clinton says she started reading the newspaper when she was three years old and wrote a letter to President Ronald Reagan when she was only five.

In the letter, which was copied and kept by her father, she asked President Ronald Reagan not to go to a military cemetery in West Germany where the graves of Nazi soldiers are. Chelsea Clinton attended Little Rock, Arkansas’s Forest Park Elementary School, Booker Arts, and Science Magnet Elementary School, and Horace Mann Junior High School. For whatever reason, she decided to skip Third Grade.
