Clay County
History
In the Upper
Coastal Plains Region of Georgia,
Clay County was formed in 1854
from the northwest corner of Early County and the
Southwest corner of Randolph County. Its county seat,
Fort Gaines, is adjacent to the Walter F. George Lock and Dam and just across
the Chattahoochee River from Alabama. Fort Gaines is about 175 miles SSW of Atlanta and
70 miles SSW of Columbus. Clay is bordered by the Georgia
counties of Quitman, Randolph,
Calhoun and Early, and the Alabama county of Henry.
