Clayton Yesterday & Today
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the 2007 population estimate of Clayton stands at 14,948. This makes Clayton the fastest-growing town in Johnston County. Although it has experienced tremendous growth in the past 10 years, it maintains a small-town charm that welcomes newcomers and visitors alike.
Clayton’s public schools are a major factor in attracting residents. Administered by Johnston County Schools (JCS), area elementary, middle and high schools are among the top performing schools in the county. JCS is committed to providing a high-quality education for its students and boasts nine Schools of Distinction, 13 Schools of Excellence and 11 Honor Schools of Excellence countywide.
Clayton is surrounded by a thriving industrial base and offers diverse recreational activities, numerous educational opportunities and a burgeoning cultural and visual arts community. Its citizens—who range from young families to retirees—enjoy the comfort and security of living within a small community and are able to take advantage of the benefits of living close to the major metropolitan Triangle area.
Clayton strives to be a diverse town that provides avenues of growth for education, industry, small business and recreation. The Clayton Area Chamber of Commerce works cooperatively with town officials and area businesses to promote business and economic development, increase civic awareness and community development and support educational opportunities throughout the town.
