Clay County, located in the northeast part of Florida, was created on December 31, 1858, from a section of Duval County. It was named in honor of Henry Clay, a prominent American statesman, and U.S. Senator from Kentucky. The county seat is Green Cove Springs.
The history of Clay County dates back to prehistoric times as indigenous tribes, such as the Timucua, lived in the region before the arrival of Europeans. The first European explorers to visit this area were the French during their brief settlement in the mid-16th century. The region eventually fell under the control of the Spanish, and later the British, before ultimately becoming a part of the United States in 1821 when Florida became a U.S. territory.
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Clay County experienced significant growth and development due in part to industries such as agriculture, timber, and tourism. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Green Cove Springs became a popular destination for tourists who came to visit the natural spring and indulge in its curative properties.
A fun fact about Clay County is that during World War II, an "inland" naval base called Naval Air Station Lee Field was established in Green Cove Springs to protect the U.S. Fleet from submarine attacks. Although the base was decommissioned in 1960, it contributed significantly to the area's development and growth. Today, Clay County is known for its natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and a rich historical heritage.
