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.
