Clay County, Administrative division in Indiana, US.
Clay County extends across 360 square miles of Indiana territory, containing the city of Brazil and multiple smaller towns throughout its boundaries.
The Indiana Legislature established Clay County in 1825, splitting territories from Owen, Putnam, Sullivan, and Vigo counties, naming it after statesman Henry Clay.
The Clay County Courthouse, constructed between 1913 and 1914 in Classical Revival style, stands as a central architectural element in Brazil.
The county provides governmental services through its courthouse in Brazil, including marriage licenses, emergency management, and legal proceedings through Circuit and Superior Courts.
The county faced administrative changes in 1876 when the Supreme Court approved moving the county seat from Bowling Green to Brazil after local citizens raised funds.
