Clay County was marked off from Cooke County on December 24, 1857, and named for Kentucky statesman Henry Clay. The county was organized in 1861, but it was largely abandoned the following year because of the removal of federal troops during the war. .organized 11/24/1873 -Handbook of Texas Online: Clay County |
