Red Clay is an unincorporated community in Whitfield County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
History
Red Clay was the site of Cherokee Indian seasonal gatherings in the 1830s.[1] The community's name is an accurate preservation of the native Cherokee-language name Elawa'-Diyi, meaning "Red-earth place".[2] A post office called Red Clay was established in 1840, and remained in operation until 1905.[3]
