Clay-Ashland

Clay-Ashland is a township〔(Clay-Ashland Residents Dance for School", ''Daily Observer'' (Liberia), 11 December, 2007 )〕 located from the capital city of Monrovia in Liberia.〔(Kenneth B. Noble, "Leader Of Liberia Refusing To Quit", ''New York Times'', June 7, 1990 )〕 The town is in the St. Paul River District of Montserrado County.〔 〕 It is named after Henry Clay — a slaveowner and American Colonization Society co-founder who favored gradual emancipation — and his estate Ashland in Lexington, Kentucky.〔(KET, Program 1106, "Kentucky And Liberia" )〕
Established in 1846, Clay-Ashland was part of a colony called Kentucky In Africa,〔 because it was settled by African-American immigrants primarily from the U.S. state of Kentucky under the auspices of the American Colonization Society.
==History==
A Kentucky state affiliate of the ACS was formed in 1828, and members raised money to transport Kentucky blacks — freeborn volunteers as well as slaves set free on the stipulation that they leave the United States — to Africa.〔 The Kentucky society bought a site along the Saint Paul River and named it Kentucky in Africa.〔 Clay-Ashland was the colony's main town.〔
Notable residents have included William D. Coleman, the 13th President of Liberia, whose family settled in Clay-Ashland after immigrating from Fayette County, Kentucky, United States when he was a boy.〔(Liberia Past And Present, "President William David Coleman 1896 – 1900" )〕 Moses Ricks, a successful farmer and Baptist missionary who founded the still-running Ricks Institute in 1887 to provide a Christian education to indigenous youth in Liberia, also grew up in the town.〔(Power and Press Freedom in Liberia, 1830-1970 )〕 Alfred F. Russell, the 9th President of Liberia, also resided in Clay-Ashland.〔(Bluegrass Community & Technical College, "A Letter from Liberia: Reverend Alfred F. Russell to Robert Wickliffe in Lexington, Kentucky", July 3, 1855 )〕
The True Whig Party, which dominated Liberian politics for more than a century, was founded in Clay-Ashland in 1869.〔(Kevin Shillington, ''Encyclopedia of African History'', 2005 )〕〔(Donald A. Ranard, "Liberians: An Introduction to their History and Culture", Center for Applied Linguistics, April 2005 )〕
