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.
