ven though Clayton County is a thriving part of a growing metro- politan Atlanta, it still retains many Old South traditions. The county is named for Augustine Smith Clayton, a judge and Congressman from Georgia. Clayton County's first settle- ment, Leakesville, was established in 1823 but was later renamed Jonesboro in honor of civil engineer Samuel Jones who revived a bankrupt railroad. lt was on this railroad that cotton was shipped. Georgia's 125th county is probably best known for Margaret Mitchell's novel of the Old South, Gone with the Wind. For it was here that Miss Mitchell researched the historical background for the novel. Clayton County combines the best of yesteryear with the promise of tomorrow. . uhm E, .. . k,,, 5 V r.:f Agia , V , scgr, ?'
