Allen is an unincorporated community in the town of Clear Creek in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, United States.[1][2] It lies almost exactly midway between Cleghorn and Foster, at the southern junction of Eau Claire County Highways "D" and "V". The town was built in 1913-1915 when the Fairchild and Northeastern Railroad passed through the community and a depot was built. The town was named after Charles Levi Allen, a commercial farmer who owned the land upon which the town was platted. [3]
