A Brief History of Clayton County

The Georgia General Assembly created Clayton County in November 1858 out of land taken from Fayette and Henry counties. It was named for Augustin Smith Clayton, a University of Georgia graduate who became a judge and served in Congress in the 1830s.

Jonesboro became the county seat, and its connection to Atlanta's rail network shaped the area's growth throughout the nineteenth century, including its role during Civil War campaigns fought nearby.

Through the twentieth century, Clayton County's fortunes became closely tied to aviation after Atlanta's municipal airport was developed along the county's northern edge, transforming a largely agricultural county into a hub of transportation activity.

Clayton County's Economy Today

Clayton County's economy today revolves substantially around Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, roughly four-fifths of which sits within the county's borders.

Warehousing, distribution, and logistics firms have concentrated in the county to take advantage of its position along major interstates and its proximity to air cargo facilities.

Government and public administration, healthcare, and retail also provide substantial employment, rounding out an economy that blends aviation-driven logistics with everyday commerce.
