On behalf of Clay County Tourism and the Spencer Chamber, we would like to welcome you to Clay County. We are excited to show you our small part of Iowa and thus, we invite you to discover the plentiful natural resources and explore the bustling downtowns of our many communities.

The county is a hidden gem in Northwest Iowa, home to many attractions, experiences, and rich history. Named after Lt. Colonel Henry Clay, Jr. who fought during the Mexican War, the 576 square mile county was created in 1858. Since then, it has continued to grow into a thriving collection of communities with enriching quality of life and culture.

Clay County offers diverse recreational opportunities like hunting, canoeing, fishing, camping, parks, golf courses and other conservation areas. If you’re looking for something more metropolitan you will find a host of entertainment such as art exhibits, museums, live theater, shopping, brewery, distillery, winery and great food throughout. Every September, Clay County brings in around 300,000 people for our internationally renowned “World’s Greatest County Fair,” which is held at the Clay County Fairgrounds in Spencer. Whether you are looking to encounter historic architecture, see the sights of the Glacial Trail Scenic Byway, or even stop for a cup of coffee, Clay County has a place for you.

We are honored to have you as a guest in our home and look forward to helping you explore the history and culture of Clay County.

Sincerely,

Olivia Baxter Tourism Coordinator Clay County Tourism

CLAY COUNTY

1858

Clay County was established in 1858 after declaring its judicial independence from Woodbury County. The county was named in honor of Henry Clay, Jr., a colonel in the Mexican - American War. Out of 18 men who voted, 14 were elected to an office and conducted county business out of their homes until 1859.

1871

In 1871 the town of Spencer was formally platted and since it was more centrally located than Peterson, the question of moving the county seat was asked again. It was answered in an election held in October of that same year; Spencer won the county seat by a margin of 159 votes.

1979

In 1979, the Board of Supervisors decided to renovate the existing courthouse and construct an administration building. The motion passed in August and $2.1 million was approved for the two projects. A dedication ceremony was held on

1859 - 1860

At this time A. W. Hubbard, Judge of the Fourth Judicial District, authorized a commission to locate a county seat. On July 16, 1859 the commission chose the present site of Spencer. In May 1860, the county judge received a petition asking that the county seat be located at Peterson. An election was held, and all 10 participants voted in favor of Peterson.

1901

It was decided in 1900 that the county needed a new courthouse. The structure was erected on the same site in Spencer and would become the third iteration of the courthouse in Clay County. It was ready for occupancy in September 1901. With no formal dedication, the doors were opened and business continued. The population of Clay County has increased approximately 30% since the 1901 courthouse was completed.

1980-Present

Since 1980, Clay County has maintained a progression of growth and prosperity. Spencer, the county seat, remains the biggest town in the county at roughly 11,000 residents. The community continues to host the “World’s Greatest County Fair,” which has been held annually since 1918. Some additional improvements to the area include the addition of a four-lane section of Highway 71 between Spencer and Milford in 2000 and the

Did you know?

The first Clay County courthouse was built in Peterson. However once the county seat was moved to Spencer, a new courthouse was needed. The second courthouse was built by the residents of Spencer. They formed a stock company and sold shares. Those who could not afford a share offered their labor. When the building was completed, it was sold to the city for $1,333. A third building was completed in 1901 in the same location and remains in use to this day.

What’s New at the Chamber?

Popular Chamber Dollars program upgraded to Spencer Chamber Gift Card

The Spencer Chamber has unveiled its new Gift Card in an effort to keep more dollars local. Sponsored by Spencer Municipal Utilities, the Spencer Chamber Gift Card is a high-tech Gift Card that can be spent with multiple participating businesses in the area, including retail, hospitality, leisure and services.

The new Gift Card replaces the Chamber Dollars system that has been in place for over 20 years, and is available to buy online and from the Spencer Chamber of Commerce office on Highway Blvd, in denominations of $20 - $500.

Sheriffa M. Jones, Executive Director at the Spencer Chamber of Commerce said the new Gift Card will be easier for businesses and customers, and will have a greater economic impact for the area:

“Our new Spencer Chamber Gift Card can be spent just like a debit card right across the city with the balance automatically updated. It can be spent in all sectors; groceries, gas and household essentials. Spencer is the largest community in a 60 mile radius. We have a population of 11,000+; however, a retail pull of 70,000. Not only will the Gift Card keep more dollars invested in the Spencer area with Chamber businesses, it will bring new dollars in, from those that want to experience all we have to offer.”

“There has always been a strong shop local community in Spencer,” continues Sheriffa. “Around $20,000 of Chamber Dollars were sold each year. We hope that employers, customers and tourists will use the new Spencer Chamber Gift Card to show their support for Spencer.”

Amanda Gloyd, Marketing and Community Relations Manager at Spencer Municipal Utilities said: “Spencer Municipal Utilities is glad to be part of the new Spencer Chamber Gift Card as it will be a great way to help keep money in Spencer. We are accepting them in our office so they can be used to pay for utilities. They can also be used at other places throughout Spencer, which will make them a great gift.”
