Clay County is nestled along the banks of the renown St. Johns River in Northeast Florida and is one the fastest growing regions in the nation. Clay County was created in 1858 from a section of Duval County and became a popular destination for tourists. President Grover Cleveland was one of the most prominent visitors to the Clay County region. In fact, he was so taken with the therapeutic spring waters of the Clay County area that he had spring water from Green Cove Springs shipped to the Whitehouse. Henry Flagler's extension of the Florida East Coast Railway eventually carried many Clay County's tourists to points further south, such as Palm Beach and Miami. The military also played a prominent role in Clay County history when 90,000 troops were trained at Camp Blanding during World War II. Also during World War II, Lee Field in Green Cove Springs served a a flight training center.Today Clay County is a popular residential choice for military personnel who are stationed nearby at NAS Jacksonville and NS Mayport.
