The Town of Clayton, North Carolina

The rapidly-growing Town of Clayton was built on the road cut by Governor Tyrnn's troops as they moved West across the state against the Regulators, around 1770. The community, first known as Stallings' Station, was a depot for the North Carolina Railroad in the home of Mrs. Sarah Stallings. On January 30, 1856, the name was officially changed to Clayton named for a senator from Delaware. The Town of Clayton was incorporated in 1869


Today Clayton is experiencing a growth spurt thanks to its convenient location in Johnston County. Only 15 minutes from Raleigh, Clayton is home to lots of shopping, restaurants, and recreation.
