Clayton is an attractive small city located nine miles from the border of the Texas-Oklahoma panhandle, in the heart of cowboy country. Clayton is located at the crossroads of two major highways: US/64, the nation's only coast-to-coast highway, and US/87 Canada to Mexico.

The young, friendly, hardworking community of Clayton boasts a surprising array of recreational attractions for its size -- a community swimming pool, tennis courts, softball diamonds, rodeo and fair grounds, gun club and city parks. Nine-hole Clayton Golf Club offers discounted green fees for out-of-town visitors. Great lake and river fishing and superb antelope hunting as well as deer, quail, duck, dove, turkey, pheasant, bear and elk hunting are all available throughout Union County.
