Clay County, located in the North Central portion of Kansas, was established on February 20, 1862. The county was named in honor of Henry Clay, a prominent American statesman, and member of the United States Senate. The region covers an area of approximately 656 square miles, encompassing several towns and cities, with Clay Center being the county seat.

The county was once inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Kaw, Pawnee, and Potawatomi. European settlers, mostly of Scandinavian, Czech, and German ancestry, started arriving in the area during the mid-1800s. They were responsible for founding many towns throughout the county, like Clay Center, which was established in 1866.

Clay County's economy was primarily based on agriculture, with wheat production being a significant contributor. The Kansas Pacific and the Kansas Central Railroads played a pivotal role in connecting the county to the rest of Kansas and the nation, promoting trade and industry.

Fun Fact: The Garden of Eden, located in Lucas, Kansas, was created by Kansas folk artist Samuel Perry Dinsmoor. It is an unusual display of limestone sculptures depicting biblical, political, and societal events. The project began in 1907 and is now a quirky tourist attraction in the region.
