Red Clay is an unincorporated community in Whitfield County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. [1]
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]
