History

The community was first settled in 1836 and named East Dover due to its location in eastern Dover Township. A post office began operating in East Dover on March 8, 1837 with Levi Soper serving as the first postmaster. Rueben Bird platted the community in 1843, and he had the post office name changed to Clayton on July 17, 1849 after his friend Reverend Clayton from New York. Clayton was incorporated as a village in 1870.
