Clay County, Administrative county in northeastern Arkansas, United States.
Clay County extends across 641 square miles of land with two distinct sections separated by the Black River flowing through its territory.
The county was established in 1873 from portions of Randolph and Greene counties, initially named Clayton County before changing to Clay County in 1875.
The county maintains an agricultural heritage with extensive rice fields, cotton plantations, and soybean farms shaping the local community identity.
Two courthouses serve the residents, one in Corning for the western district and another in Piggott for the eastern district of the county.
The Black River creates such a natural division that the county requires two administrative centers to effectively manage governmental operations.
