About Clayton

Clayton is a small, quiet community along Highway 383 in northwest Kansas, about 17 miles southwest of Norton. Named after the area's clay-rich soil by early homesteaders, it offers wide-open prairie views and a relaxed, neighborly pace. Life here is peaceful and unhurried, with the shops, schools, and services of Norton just a short drive down the road.
