Clay County, Missouri

Clay Location Map Missouri

Clay County sits just north of Kansas City, right across the Missouri River. It’s been around since 1822, named after Henry Clay, the famous statesman.

Liberty is the county seat and has a square that’s worth a visit. This place has seen its share of Wild West action. In fact, Jesse James robbed his first bank here.

These days, it’s more about suburban living and good schools. The county has a mix of everything such as busy shopping areas, quiet neighborhoods, and rural farmland.
