HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY
According to the late J.V.A. Moore, a local historian, the first non-Native American man to settle in what was to become Clay County, was John Covington Moore. He settled here in the late 1700’s. The first emigrants moved into this section in the early 1830's. At the time, it was a part of Macon County.
In 1837 General Winfield Scott was commissioned to gather all the Native Americans throughout the region and detain them in improvised stockades before taking them to the Oklahoma Territory. During this time, a Captain Hembree was sent to this section of what was to become Cherokee County (in 1839) and he constructed a stockade about a mile south west of the present town of Hayesville. Native Americans were held there until they had all been captured and the infamous “Trail of Tears” began.
Mr. George Hayes, who lived in the general area of Tomotla, was running for representative for Cherokee County in the Fall election of 1860.
When he brought his campaign to the southeastern end of the county, he found that his constituents here wanted separation from Cherokee County and a county seat of government of their own. By promising them that he would introduce legislation to form a new county, he captured most of the votes in this area. In February of 1861 such legislation was introduced and passed by the North Carolina General Assembly.
The new County seat was named Hayesville in recognition of Mr. George Hayes, for his help in its creation. The new county was named Clay to honor the great Kentucky Statesman Henry Clay. Probably due to the unrest and
LAND
uncertainties growing out of the Civil War, a formal government for the new county was not organized until 1868. Throughout the rest of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Clay County remained a largely agricultural area. Today, a variety of businesses, industries, & agriculture make up our economy.
