.Clay County, located in the southeastern part of the great state of Illinois, has a rich historical background. The county was officially founded in 1824 and named in honor of Henry Clay, a prominent American statesman, and U.S. Senator from Kentucky. It covers an area of approximately 470 square miles and comprises several cities and towns, with its county seat being Louisville.
Before the European settlers arrived, the region was occupied by Native American tribes. The first known European settler in the area was Robert Koch, a German immigrant who arrived in 1818. Many of the early settlers in this region were of German, Welsh, and Irish descent. Agriculture, specifically farming and livestock raising, has always been the backbone of Clay County's economy. The fertile lands have supported corn, soybean, and wheat production, as well as poultry and cattle farming.
One interesting fun fact about Clay County is the "Little Toot" railroad.
