Village of Clay Center

Founded by William “Billy” Clark who, with his wife, Susanna, had emigrated from England in the 1840s, a small settlement began in Clay Township a few miles north of Genoa. The hard-working Clark had moved from Port Clinton to open a business that supplied wood to the railroad, then opened a store, and soon plotted a village on land he owned. Hoping it would become the township’s jurisdictional focus, he named it Clay Center. But with the success of Genoa, Clay Center became part of Allen Township in 1888. Kelly Island Lime and Transport opened a quarry nearby, which further fueled the village’s commerce and local importance. Today, the quarry is considered a prime source of Silurian-aged Lockport Dolomite.
