As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,587.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/37/37043.html )〕 Its county seat is Hayesville.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 ==History== In the Fall of 1860, George Hayes, who was running for Representative from Cherokee County, promised his southeastern constituents to introduce legislation to form a new county. In February 1861 the legislation was introduced and passed by the North Carolina General Assembly. Clay County was formed primarily from Cherokee County, North Carolina, however a small area was taken from Macon County, North Carolina. In honor of Mr. Hayes, the then new county's seat was appointed Hayesville and the newly formed county was named in honor Henry Clay, famous American statesman, member of the United States Senate from Kentucky.〔 Despite having been created in 1861, Clay County lacked an organized, formal government until 1868. Later that year, the first post office opened in Hayesville and the first county courthouse was built in 1888, currently it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Throughout the rest of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Clay County has remained largely agricultural.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clay County, North Carolina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
