About Clay

Clay is a northeastern Jefferson County city in the Birmingham-Hoover-Cullman region. Local government is run by a mayor and city council, and the everyday context is suburban life on Birmingham's northeast side. It is the kind of place where schools, churches, neighborhoods, and metro access matter more than a single famous landmark.
