Clay County was created from portions of Early and Randolph
counties by an act of the General Assembly approved Feb. 16,
1854 (Ga. Laws 1853-54, p. 292). [Click here
for a legal description of Clay County's original boundaries.]
Georgia's 110th county was named for former U.S. Representative,
U.S. Secretary of State, and U.S. Senator Henry
Clay of Kentucky. Clay, who died in June 1852, is probably
best remembered for his role in securing congressional approval
of the Compromise of 1850, which dealt with the divisive issue
of allowing slavery in the U.S.'s western territories.
