Clay County, Mississippi
Clay County lies in the northeastern part of Mississippi. It’s not far from the Alabama border, sitting pretty between the Tombigbee River and the prairie lands.
The county seat is West Point, which is known for its antebellum homes and southern hospitality. Folks here take pride in their community. You’ll find a mix of farmland and forests, with rolling hills that make for some nice views.
The area’s been inhabited by Native American tribes long before European settlers arrived. These days, Clay County has a strong focus on education, with Mississippi State University not too far away to the south.
