Ashland is the seat of Clay County, created by the Alabama General Assembly on December 7, 1866. Less than a year later Ashland was set as the county seat on land given by Hollingsworth Watts for a courthouse. It was incorporated in 1871 and named for Ashland, the Kentucky estate of the statesman Henry Clay.
More about Ashland
The town grew so fast in its early years that some predicted it would outgrow Birmingham. Growth continued after Alabama's first graphite mine opened nearby in 1899, but when World War I ended the graphite market collapsed. In the 1930s the Depression and the boll weevil destroyed the cotton farming that had been the area's main industry, and by the early 21st century timber, poultry and cabinetmaking led the economy. Clay County natives include U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black and Bob Riley, Alabama's governor from 2003 to 2011. During the Desert Shield and Desert Storm conflict, the county had the nation's highest number of soldiers serving per capita.
