A Look Back: Claysville's History
Claysville officially began in 1828. At that time, its streets and building lots were carefully planned out on a map. This process is called being "platted." The community was named after the "Clay Pike," which was an important road in the area.
Just two years later, in 1830, Claysville got its own post office. This was a big deal for the community. It meant people could send and receive letters and packages more easily. The post office has been serving the area ever since.
