About Clay, Alabama

Clay is a city of 10,291 people in northeastern Jefferson County. Its first settlers who were not Native American came around 1806, and the community they built was first called Shiloh's Beat, after a Methodist church nearby. It grew up on the Georgia Road, a main route that linked the Carolinas with Birmingham.

A post office opened here in 1878, and the story goes that its first postmaster named it for the red clay soil found all over the area, so the town became Clay. For many years the community had no city government of its own, and the census counted it as a census-designated place. Residents voted in June 2000 to incorporate so they could have more control over their own community, and Clay became a city on June 6, 2000. Neighboring Chalkville later joined it.

  • The county's oldest churchMount Calvary Presbyterian Church, in Clay, is the oldest church in Jefferson County. Scots-American settlers founded its congregation in 1806, and it has gathered without a break ever since.
  • The Alabama CavernsClay became known for the Alabama Caverns, which people also called McCluney's Cave and Crystal Cave. Visitors toured it for years, until it was closed to the public in the 1960s. Cosby Lake was another place that brought tourists to Clay.
  • Clay May DaysEach spring the city holds Clay May Days, with arts and crafts vendors, carnival rides and music, and every year it puts on a Christmas Parade. Clay also keeps three city parks with athletic fields, picnic areas, a walking trail and fishing.
