Clay County, Alabama
Clay County is a county of the U.S. state of Alabama. As of the 2010 census the population was 13,932.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/01/01027.html )〕 Its county seat is Ashland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 Its name is in honor of Henry Clay, famous American statesman, member of the United States Senate from Kentucky and United States Secretary of State in the 19th century. It is a prohibition or dry county and currently the only dry county in Alabama with no wet cities within its boundaries.
==History==
Clay County was established on December 7, 1866 from land taken from Randolph and Talladega County. Named after the famous statesman Henry Clay, the county seat itself was named after his estate in Lexington, Kentucky called "Ashland". The county was covered with a heavy growth of trees, and a part of the territory was occupied by the Creek Indians. The early pioneers acquired the lands by government entry, and the Indian lands by public auction. The families came wholly from Fayette County, Georgia.〔History of Clay County, Alabama Ingram, Clanda Garrett 1966〕 Clay County was formed for geographic reasons. The citizens of the area had a difficult time reaching the county seat of Wedowee in Randolph County because of the Tallapoosa River to the east. Talladega was difficult to reach because of the intervening mountains. Even today, Clay County is one of only three counties in Alabama to have no U.S. Highways in its boundaries. Ashland was a mining center, particularly for graphite.〔Graphite Deposits of Ashland, Alabama by John Stafford Brown, 1925〕
During the Desert Shield/Storm conflict, Clay County had more soldiers serving per capita than any other county in the United States.
