Clay County, located in the great state of Kentucky, was established on December 11, 1806, making it the 47th County in the state. It was named after the statesman and prominent Senator, Henry Clay, who was a significant figure in American history.

The county is situated within the Appalachian Region of the United States, with its terrain consisting mainly of hills and forested areas. With an area of 471 square miles, Clay County has a rich history tied to coal mining and timber production. The county seat, Manchester, was created and positioned along Goose Creek in 1824. The creek, with its abundant natural resources, played an integral part in the settlement and development of the county.

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Clay County was influenced by the rise and decline of the coal mining industry. The mine-based economy provided essential jobs and resources for the residents of the area, but also faced challenges, including labor disputes and environmental concerns. Along with the decline in coal mining, timber production experienced a decrease, leading many residents to look for other employment opportunities.

Clay County's rich history is evident through its numerous historic sites and buildings, such as the Red Bird River Petroglyphs, which ethnic Cherokee people carved in the early 19th century. As for a fun fact, the county was once home to the largest American Chestnut tree in the United States. Known as the "Tree of Heaven," it stood as a symbol of wisdom, prosperity, and gratitude before succumbing to chestnut blight in the early 20th century.
