Clay County, North Carolina Part of the American History & Genealogy Project **Clay County was enacted in 1861, but it was organized in 1864. It is surrounded on three sides by mountains forming an amphitheater overlooking a valley. The lands are exceedingly fertile, and, with the sparkling Hiwassee River flowing through the center from east to west, with its tributaries, Tusquittee, Brasstown, Sweetwater, & Shooting Creek are well watered. Hayesville, the county seat, was named after George W. Hayes. **Source: Western North Carolina A History From 1730 to 1913, By John Preston Arthur, Published by Edward Clay Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, of Clayville, N.
