Clay County, Administrative county in western Minnesota, United States
Clay County spans 1,053 square miles along Minnesota's western border with North Dakota, divided between 1,045 square miles of land and 7.3 square miles of water.
Initially named Breckinridge County in 1860, the Minnesota Legislature changed its name to Clay County in 1862 to honor American statesman Henry Clay.
The county government maintains strong connections with local communities through regular board meetings, joint authority sessions, and public participation programs.
The county offers digital services for property searches, tax payments, and vehicle registration through an online platform accessible to all residents.
The Northern Pacific Railway's arrival in 1872 triggered the formal organization of Clay County's government and accelerated settlement patterns in the region.
