Clay County, located in the great state of North Carolina, was established on January 29, 1861, and named in honor of the prominent 19th-century American politician and statesman Henry Clay. The county is situated in the far western region of North Carolina, bordering the states of Georgia and Tennessee. Its county seat, which is also its largest town, is Hayesville.

Clay County has a rich history with the Cherokee Indians who originally inhabited the area. The Cherokee village of Quanassee was located near what is now Hayesville. The renowned Cherokee Chief Junaluska was also born in the county.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the region's economy relied primarily on agriculture and timber production. As part of the Appalachian Mountain chain, Clay County's geography includes beautiful peaks, valleys, rivers, and woodlands, which has made it a popular spot for outdoor recreation activities, such as hiking, fishing, and boating.

One fun fact about Clay County is that the historic Cherokee County Courthouse, constructed in 1888, is now the Clay County Historical and Arts Museum. This Greek Revival style building was saved from demolition and now hosts artifacts related to both Clay County's history and the Cherokee culture that preceded European settlement.
