About
Clay County
An area of contrasts,
Clay County offers lifestyles and business
settings ranging from big city sophistication to
small town simplicity. The land in Clay County is
beautiful. Gentle rolling hills and meadows
afford panoramic views throughout the county.
Clay County is over 400 square miles in size, yet
60% of the county remains undeveloped.
Clay County, Missouri
is one of the major counties that comprise the
Kansas City metropolitan area. It is the third
most populous county in the metro. Nine percent
of Greater Kansas City's population, and close to
10% of its jobs are in Clay County. In the next
five years, population is expected to increase by
nearly 14%.
Recreational and
historical attractions are numerous within the
county and include major amusement parks and
exciting riverfront developments. Some of these
distinct attractions include Smithville Lake, and
the notorious farm home of Jesse and Frank James.
Clay County offers
major advantages that are unique in all the
United States. It is located in the middle of the
continent, only a few hours from both geographic
and population centers of the nation.
